The coolant temp sensor is on the driver side of the engine. It is the upper sensor of the two you will see. First, you should drain a half gallon of coolant from the radiator using the valve at the bottom of the radiator. This avoids coolant draining out of the hole when you remove the sensor. Now carefully remove the connector on the sensor, then use a deep socket to unscrew it from the head.
Match it up against it's replacement to be sure it is the same, there are mixups on these sometimes with the coolant switch which is below the coolant temp sensor and looks the same.
Now put thread tape or loc-tite on the threads of the new sensor before replacing and tightening it. The threads may feel tight so be sure to turn the sensor into the head deeply enough to seal. Put coolant back into the overflow tank. Replace connector and test drive. Check for any leakage from the sensor and if there is no leakage and the sensor shows the temperature of the engine from the 1/4 to 1/2 mark on the guage when warmed up you should be fine.

1996 Saturn SL2 Coolant Level and Heat lights blink together The overflow tank had a crack and was leaking and you replaced it The car does not over heat It is not losing coolant?
Your engine temperature sensor in the block has failed. It is located below the upper radiator hose on the drive side of the engine. Make sure you get one from the dealer as the newer sensors have a bronze sensor cover versus the plastic ones you will get from and Autozone or Schucks. The sensor is easy to change, just unplug the wire, get the new sensor ready, pull the old sensor using a 13mm wrench or socket and quickly install the new sensor before a bunch of your coolant leaks out the hole. Have fun
