See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
This part is listed under both names, temperature sender and switch. It works as a thermal switch: it senses coolant temperature and makes electrical contact at its specified set point to signal the warning light circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TS-11 the right Impala switch for the temperature light on a 1968 Chevrolet Impala?
The TS-11 is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1968 Chevrolet Impala. It also fits many other vehicles, so check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm yours.
What does a coolant temperature sender with light do?
It senses engine coolant temperature and makes electrical contact at its specified set point. That contact signals the dashboard temperature warning light when the engine runs hot.
What are signs this temperature sender may need replacing?
Common signs are a warning light that stays on while the engine is cool, a light that never comes on, or coolant seeping at the sender. Diagnose first, as wiring or other parts can cause the same symptoms.
Is the TS-11 calibrated before it ships?
Yes. Standard Ignition factory-calibrates every unit and tests it to confirm that the switch actuates at its specified temperature.
What should I know before installing it?
Let the engine cool fully before removing the old sender, because some coolant may escape. Follow the vehicle service information to install it, then check the coolant level and look for leaks.
