1996 Jeep Cherokee, 4.0L
I broke the temp sender that is in the back of the engine on the block (The plastic was desintegrating and weak) so I went to advance auto to get a new one.
Having a little trouble getting the right sender. I've got a full gauge cluster (no idiot lights).
The first sender they gave me looked right except for the connector. It had two pins, where as there is only one pin (and consequently one wire) to my current sender. I went back and they checked their stock, and the sender they found with a single pin is the idiot gauge sender. Seeing as though when people do a gauge swap they have to change senders... I suspect the idiot gauge sender won't work.
So I had the guy look up a 1995 cherokee to see if the p/ns were the same. They were not. Unfortunately this part they needed to order for me (and will have late this afternoon).
So I'm trying to figure out why there are so many different senders/connectors. Would like to know if anyone has experience with this 95 sender, or has a 96 and has replaced the sender and found the right part #?
For reference, this is the first part they gave me:
GP Sorensen 38-5135.
This is the idoit gauge part:
GP Sorensen TSU199
This is the part on order:
GP Sorensen TSU198
Thanks!
