Hello,

In the diagrams down below I have included the location and the instructions for the removal and installation from the vehicle manufacturer for the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch for your vehicle. Please go through this information and get back to us with how everything turns out. Happy Holidays.

Thanks,
Alex
