does anyone have a part number and a link to where i can order the temperature sender for the temperature gauge in a sierra?

or that would be willing to go pick one up and mail it to me?

 

I assume you mean the gauge sender mate - have a new Ford one here so will go check the number Its a cosworth 3dr or Saff 2wd one - is that what you need?

Cheers,

Andy

 

that what i think i will try. my thoughts are that the gauge clusters are interchangeable between the sierras and the merkurs. so the gauge sender has to have the same properties as the merkur one. the mustang senders over here are only a couple bucks so i figured that the sierra ones couldn't be real expansive either.

 

Hi again,

part number is...

FINIS 6145143 sender-temp

... but I think they cost nearly £30 over here I'm afraid

 

great googly moogly!!!

thanks

i was on the cosworth site and they have the temperature sensor for $52 and teh temperature sender for $3.40. i am looking for the temperature sender i think. so i'm going to order one from them.

 

where is the gauge sender situated??

 

Front end of the head mate - by the tubo, the wire usually runs over the cam cover to it and fixes with one of those 'top hat' connections... see pic

 

and fitted to a bare head

 

is it the same on 4wd head andy??

 

NO 4wd next to CTS sender other side at rear of head.

Thanks Tab - should have spotted that

 

All sorted now folks, thanks!!

 

yeah that looks like the same style that is on the merkur. i ordered one from cosworth the other day so when it gets here we'll see if it has the same operating range as the merkur. which is 19 ohms on the hot side and 240 ohms on the cold side.

 

Hope it works mate

 

yeah me too. if it does then there will be scores of merkur owners that can make their temp gauges work again. i just can't believe that someone hasn't tried this already.
