AUTO METER Autogage Electric Temperature Sender 2385 — Compact Thermistor, Gauge-Compatible

The Auto Meter 2385 Autogage Electric Temperature Sender is a compact, reliable electric temperature sender designed to provide accurate engine coolant temperature readings for street and performance gauge applications.

Built for budget-conscious enthusiasts who still demand dependable instrumentation, the 2385 Autogage sender translates coolant temperature into an electrical signal compatible with many Auto Meter temperature gauges. It’s optimized for street and performance tachometer and gauge consoles and offers straightforward installation for a wide range of engines and setups.

How does the 2385 Autogage sender deliver accurate temperature readings?

The sender uses a temperature-sensitive element that changes electrical resistance as coolant temperature varies, producing a consistent signal for the gauge. Proper installation and matching the sender to your gauge range are key to accuracy.

• Thermistor-based sensing element for stable resistance changes with temperature
• Designed to output a signal compatible with Auto Meter temperature gauges
• Compact body fits common sensor ports or adapter fittings

What should I know about installing this electric temperature sender?

Installation is straightforward for most do-it-yourself mechanics: locate an appropriate coolant port or use an adapter, thread the sender in place, and connect the signal and ground wires. Always follow vehicle-specific torque and sealing practices to avoid leaks.

• Fits standard sender ports or requires an adapter for some engines
• Single electrical signal lead and ground connection for compatibility
• Use thread sealant or sealing washer as recommended to prevent leaks

Will this sender work with my Auto Meter gauge or other brands?

The 2385 Autogage is engineered to match Auto Meter’s temperature gauge input characteristics, so pairing it with an Auto Meter gauge provides the best results. It may work with other aftermarket gauges that accept the same resistance-temperature curve, but confirm compatibility before installation.

• Optimized for Auto Meter temperature gauges and Autogage systems
• May be compatible with third-party gauges that use the same resistance curve
• Check gauge documentation or contact support for cross-compatibility

How durable and serviceable is the 2385 Autogage sender?

The sender is designed for use in engine coolant environments and provides dependable performance under normal street and light performance conditions. Periodic inspection for corrosion and secure wiring will extend service life.

• Compact metal body resists typical engine bay conditions
• Simple electrical interface makes troubleshooting quick
• Replaceable and economical for routine maintenance or upgrades

Who is this for: The Auto Meter 2385 Autogage Electric Temperature Sender is ideal for street and performance vehicle owners upgrading or maintaining dashboard instrumentation on a budget. It suits DIY mechanics, restorers, and anyone using Auto Meter gauges who wants a straightforward, cost-effective sender that delivers clear coolant temperature readings without complex installation.
