The temp gauge I got from Microcenter is compact, and won't get you arrested...

sounds like another handy tool for the tool box...and the first aid kit!  i wonder if i pointed it in my kid's ears if it would read their temperatures?
I'm going to harbor fried today.... need to pick up a brass hammer....
I've never heard of the other place.  i like the small size.

The other place. Unfortunately, they don't always have them in stock, but it's worth a look.

They have a warning that they are not for use on humans or animals.

3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Update: after confirming the second replacement sensor was bad, i went to exchange it for the third one (third times' a charm!)  And THEN they offered me the better one :o .  I was a little upset that they (napa) didn't make it available on the first two visits, but they upgraded the exchange at no cost to me, so i left it at that.  This new sensor is built much different and solid....and more importantly, it reads correctly at the gauge again. Yay! :)
Thanks for everyone's help!

You must have gotten a BWD on the first two visits?

Not sure. I've long since forgotten about this thread and even longer since lost the paperwork!  Sorry for not updating the thread! BAD RON.

No worries.  I haven't been here nearly as long as you have. I went through my posts and threads a while back to edit for completion, among other things.  Not fun.  There are pages upon pages, and you can't edit from the ”Show Posts” area.  It took FOREVER, and mine are only for a few months, not years.

BWD is a brand of cheap replacement parts, 99% sourced from Asia. I avoid that particular brand at all costs.

Sorenson and even AC Delco are made by the same company.  I usually but Standard or Echelon or the high-end NAPA brands.
