My temp sending unit recently failed and reads 41 ohms always. The gauge has no identifying marks I can see except for 'JAPAN' stamped into the back. The gauge face reads from 100 to 220. At 41 ohms the gauge reads 100. Unlike most sending units I've read about here and in other places, this one reads higher as resistance increases. Adding resistance in series with the unit I get gauge readings of about 165 at 81 ohms, 180 at 90 ohms, 195 at 115 ohms, 205 at 120 ohms, and 210 at 170 ohms. Shorting the gauge lead directly to ground pegs it at well over 220.
The sending unit is marked "12V" on one hex face and "1-D" on another. Looks like a 1/4 pipe thread to me. Has a 11/16 hex 'head'. It's in an adapter bushing that looks to be a 1/2 NPT with a 15/16 hex 'head'. The 'shaft' of the unit extends about 1.5 inches beyond the threads.
So far I haven't found anything in this form with a positive temp coefficient online.
Can anyone help me find a replacement?
