If you have a sender with some other shape, or a spade connector, or screw connector, then you have the wrong sender.



At room temperature the resistance from the connection knob on the sender to the nut-shaped part which is ground, is about 350 ohms. At operating temperature it will be about 75 ohms. Those are rough figures.

OK, I may have the wrong sending unit as mine has a spade, are the correct sensors available some where
