I want to use the factory temp sending unit for my auto meter gauge. I have an 01 LS1, it has a 2 wire temp sending unit. Can I get a 3 wire sending unit from a 98 and hook the 3rd lead to my auto meter gauge? If so does anyone have the wiring schematics for the 98 sending unit. Which pins go to what lead? Thanks.

I`m not going to say that you cannot use a 98 sending unit, but I am going to bet that if you do the reading on the gauge will not be accurate.

Why not use the correct autometer sender and put it in the extra hole in the pass head

ok I want to add onto this question... I have the 98 LS1 and ofcourse the three Wire Temp sensor, which one goes to the Gauge? My swap is on the Stock 240sx DashBoard will it work?

Thanks

As was said before, it could potentially work although it would be inaccurate. What use would a gauge be if it didn't read the correct temperature?

The dark green wire is the output to the gauge.

Thanks G-Body... do you have an Idea if it will work with the stock 240sx Guage?! Accurate?

The ohm range on the oem 98 three wire is 0-90 ohms. see what autometer is and you can get close.

I would guess that the most cars use a resistance based temp sender arrangement, so it will probably make the gauge move, but as far as accuracy your guess is as good as or better than mine.
