Hello,
So I have been having an issue with my car overheating. And I have found out there could be three reasons as to why it is. I have replaced two of the three parts it could have been but they did not fix the issue. The last part I need to replace is the engine coolant temperature sensor, however I do not know where it is located and cannot seem to find it. The other two parts I have replaced are the thermostat and the radiator fan. Which the fuse in my fan had gone out, so it was a good thing I got that done. If I could get some help that would be greatly appreciated. ^-^

Below you will find the location attached to this post so that you are able to find it. It is on the back side of the engine but should be accessible.

Let us know if you have other questions. Thanks
