I need to replace my water temperature "Sender Unit" for the dash gauges on my '05 Patriot.
My dash gauges are made by Faria Beede. Their website shows this (
TS4042) for the Water Temp Sender Unit:
https://fariabeede.com/2-pages/aftermarket.php?family_select=Accessories This is available on Amazon for under $14
Searching around for this Sender, I came up with this website that says Monaco used a non-standard gauge which requires a special sending unit -- (
Beede p/n 127346 and Monaco p/n 16617199) the Beede part number does not come up on the Faria-Beede website. I could buy from this website but they are really expensive (maybe rightly so if this Sender is so unique) It's $50 plus $17 shipping ($67.00!).

VDO 323-086 listed for the Water Temp sender (but it's not clear what models and years this applies to). This Sender is available on Amazon for under $12.
Does anyone know the correct part number and manufacture is for the Water Temp sender for an '05 Patriot with C13?
