Coolant temperature sensor replacement and location please!

Just wait until the engine has completely cooled down unplug the sensor. Then get the new sensor ready to install it. Then unscrew the new sensor and quickly swap over the new sensor before you lose a lot of coolant. Also, just because the fan does not work does not mean it is the sensor it could be the fan motor etc. Here are diagrams to help you find the location for replacement. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

My temperature gauge has been fluctuating and I believe the temperature sending unit may be bad.

Thank you. It was the 3.8 by the way. I had kept thinking that was it, but for some reason it didn't look the same as the one I ordered. Thanks again.

My pleasure. Be sure to tell your friends abut us.
