Engine Cooling Fan Fuses/Relays


1995-1998 Engine compartment fusebox # B & H


1999-2003 Engine compartment fusebox - Fuse #107 and relays #301 & 303


The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is threaded into the top left-side of the engine, in the intake manifold (right behind the oil filler cap.)

The steps to replacing are:

  1. Partially drain the engine cooling system until the coolant level is below the ECT sensor mounting hole.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  3. Disconnect the wiring harness from the ECT sensor.
  4. Remove the coolant temperature sensor from the intake manifold.

To install:

  1. Coat the sensor threads with Teflon® sealant.
  2. Install the sensor into the intake manifold and torque to 71-115 inch lbs
  3. Connect the negative battery cable.
  4. Refill the engine cooling system.
  5. Start the engine and check for coolant leaks. Top off the cooling system

It should be located on or near the waterneck. The waterneck is where your thermostat is contained. It could also be tapped into your head (likely Bank 1, which is the side next to the firewall). If it is in the head you will likely find it on the end of the head. Remember to use a small amount of teflon tape on the threads of the new switch.


it is under the intake manifold hose where it attaches to the throttle body
The engine fans are protected by relays in the engine compartment power / fusebox.

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor?

The engine coolant temperature sensor is usually on the front of the engine. The coolant temperature sensor will be in the vicinity of the thermostat housing.


Where is the temperature sensor in a ford Windstar?

In a Ford Windstar, the temperature sensor, also known as the coolant temperature sensor, is typically located near the engine block, often near the thermostat housing. It is usually positioned on the intake manifold or cylinder head. This sensor monitors the engine’s coolant temperature and sends data to the engine control module for proper functioning. If you're looking for the exact location, consulting the vehicle's service manual can provide specific details for your model year.


How do you replace coolant temperature sensor?

Vehicle make, model & engine size needed first.


Where is the choke located on 1998 Ford Windstar?

There is NOT a choke on any fuel injected engine. The coolant temperature sensor does the job of what used to be the choke. When the coolant in the engine is cold, the coolant temperature sensor tells the engine control module and it determines how rich or lean to make the engine run. You can use a scanner to see if it and all the other sensors are doing the job they are meant to perform.


How do you locate the engine coolant temperature sensor on a vehicle to replace it?

coolant temperature sensor are located where the coolant runs in the block near the thermostat housing normally the connector are on top of the sensor and the sensor itself screws in with a deep socket. The temperature sensor is usaully located where the coolant runs OUT of the engine close to thermostat housing.


Do you have to replace coolant when you replacing the ac compressor?

You will have to replace the refrigerant, but not the engine coolant.


Where is the temperature sensor on a ford Windstar sel?

The temperature sensor on a Ford Windstar SEL is typically located in the engine compartment, near the thermostat housing or on the engine block. It measures the coolant temperature and sends this information to the engine control module. In some cases, it may also be found near the radiator or the intake manifold. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for the exact location and specifications.


Where is the coolant sensor on a 2001 Mercury Sable and is it possible to replace it without replacing the entire coolant reservoir?

NOTE: this answer is describing the location of the engine coolant temperature sensor - NOT the coolant sensor in the reservoir that warns when the level gets too low.The coolant temperature sensor is located directly adjacent to the thermostat housing. The thermostat housing is what the upper radiator hose (toward the right side of the engine compartment) connects to. You do not have to replace the reservoir to replace this part, but leaky coolant reservoirs are a common problem on this model.

How do you replace the Coolant Bypass Line that attaches to water pump on a 2001 Ford Windstar?

To replace the coolant bypass line on a 2001 Ford Windstar, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Drain the coolant from the radiator, then remove any necessary components to access the bypass line, including the water pump if needed. Disconnect the old bypass line from the water pump and engine, and install the new line, ensuring all connections are secure. Finally, refill the coolant, reconnect the battery, and check for leaks.
