Default Re: temperature senders

Which sender are you trying to repair? The single terminal one is the actual Temperature sender and the one with two terminals is just a switch that goes open between the two terminals when it gets 'too' hot. You can check the operation of the single terminal sender by shorting the terminals of the two terminal unit together. This will help you determine which unit is actually faulty.

I have heard of a guy who removes the crimped top part on a lathe to get access to the internals and then solders them back together once repairing and cleaning the contacts is completed.
