Standard Ignition TS-18 Engine Coolant Temperature Sender

Engine Coolant Temperature Sender for Classic Chrysler and Dodge

Standard Ignition TS-18 is an engine coolant temperature sender built for vehicles that rely on accurate temperature signaling to the gauge or fan control circuit. It uses a bolt-on, single-terminal design with a 1/8-27 thread size for direct service replacement on select Chrysler and Dodge applications.

Key Features

• Engine coolant temperature sender for gauge and temperature signal applications
• Bolt-on attachment method with round male connector
• 1 male button terminal, 1 connector
• 1/8-27 thread size
• Factory-calibrated and tested for switch actuation at the specified temperature
• Built with formed bimetallic contact arm and precision thermal switching design

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition TS-18 is engineered for consistent coolant temperature signal performance in older Chrysler and Dodge vehicles. The sender uses a thermal switching design with calibrated actuation points, helping maintain accurate communication between the cooling system and the gauge or fan controller. It is a direct-fit service part for applications such as 1964-1968 Chrysler 300, Imperial, New Yorker, Newport, and Town & Country with AC and gauge, plus 1964-1968 Dodge Dart and 1966-1968 Dodge Charger with gauges, and 1965-1968 Dodge Monaco with gauges. This part cross-references Standard Motor Products TS6707 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Inaccurate coolant temperature gauge readings
• Intermittent or delayed temperature signal to the dash gauge
• Cooling system warning light or fan control signal issues
• Hard-to-diagnose temperature sender failure on classic Chrysler and Dodge models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thread size, connector style, and terminal configuration before installation. Clean the mounting surface and inspect the wiring connector for corrosion or looseness before connecting the sender. Confirm the vehicle uses the listed gauge or AC/gauge application, since fitment varies by model and engine configuration.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition manufactures this sender with controlled materials, calibrated thermal actuation, and production testing to confirm switch operation at the specified temperature. As an OE-focused ignition manufacturer, Standard Ignition maintains quality control from component selection through final assembly.
