Global Parts 1712601 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor for Jeep Applications

Global Parts 1712601 is an engine coolant temperature sensor that sends temperature feedback to the engine management system. On modern vehicles, that signal helps the ECM manage A/C operation; on earlier vehicles, it can directly switch the compressor off to help prevent compressor failure. This part is a direct-fit option for select Jeep Cherokee, Comanche, Wagoneer, and Wrangler applications.

Key Features

• Engine coolant temperature sensor for temperature signal input
• Supports ECM-controlled A/C operation on later systems
• Used in earlier systems to help shut off the compressor when needed
• 3/8 - 18 NPTF thread with 2 terminals
• Fits select 1986-1990 Jeep Cherokee, Comanche, Wagoneer, and Wrangler applications
• Global Parts 1712601 cross-references Four Seasons 36400 and Standard Ignition TX28 for the same application

Detailed Description

Global Parts 1712601 is built for Jeep cooling and engine management systems that rely on accurate coolant temperature input. It is listed for 1988-1990 Jeep Cherokee, 1987-1990 Jeep Comanche, 1988-1990 Jeep Wagoneer, and 1987-1990 Jeep Wrangler with a 3/8 - 18 NPTF thread and 2-terminal design. Additional fitment includes 1986-1987 Jeep Cherokee, 1987 Jeep Wagoneer, and 1986 Jeep Comanche.
