It looks like the coolant temperature sensor is near the rear of the engine (G), here is the location of the sensor in the diagrams below. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

It is hard to tell from the video, but I think I saw it at the rear of the engine on the cylinder head. Let me know.

Now our problem is that it's so far down and in such a tight space that we can’t even get it off.

Sometimes you will need to remove other items to get to the sensor. If you upload another video of the area I can help.
