If your Ford Taurus is the regular GL model, and not the SHO, then there are 2 different sensors that have to do with coolant/temperature. I have a 1994 Taurus GL 3.0 engine and I am currently working on my engine. The "temperature switch" which controls the gauge in your car is the sensor located to the right and slightly below the thermostat housing on one of the 2 hoses that go into the engine or housing. Mine was an 18mm bolt that had a single plug on the lead. It is smaller than the coolant temperature sensor and looks completely different. It had a round cylinder that bolts into the hose with a flat surface at the end. The "Coolant Temperature Sensor", which sends temperature readings to the engine computer and activates the cooling fan is sometimes found in either that spot or that area. Mine however is found above my thermostat housing on the engine block next to the valve cover. It had a plug port with 2 leads inside a white or grey plastic top. When you take this sensor off, it will have that plastic top with a brass bottom that comes to a point after the threads.
The coolant temperature sensor screws into the bottom of the radiator, and has two wires connected to it which have a quick relese plug....piece of cake
Temperature.
There's a coolant temperature sensor located on the lower part of the water pump on the drivers side.
240 up
behind the thermostat housing,two wires
One the engine block on the 302 and 351's
Hi, I know there is one temperature sensor located right near the thermostat, which one or what exactly are you looking for? Steve H.
It is screewed into the intake manifold right beside the thermostat housing.
It has 1 coolant sensor, 1 temperature sensor
What size engine? on my 1993 2.5 it is direcly behind the coil on the front of the engine.
were do I put coolant in mercedes 1994 c280
The light you are describing indicates low coolant level in the coolant reservoir.
