the coolant sender is located at the back of the head 2to 3 inches down,very difficut to get to to and undo
The temperature sender (the sensor that sends the temperature signal to the gauge) has to be immersed in coolant in order to correctly read the temperature. If the coolant is so low that it leaves the sender high and dry, the temperature shown on the gauge will not be a true reading. if the sensor is not immersed in the coolant, there a big chance it wont read at all...
The engine coolant temperature sensor and coolant temperature gauge sender are located on the passenger's side of the engine, under the intake manifold.
Its call the coolant temperature "sender".. sku # 3387-07042521 ... o'rielly has them and partsgeek.com..BWD - Coolant Temperature SenderPart Number: WT3025
On the intake manifold up front by the thermostat housing to the left of it.
In the front of the engine under the throttle body...
the coolant temp is below the regulated temperature.. replace the thermostat and temp sender switch
Common for a cracked coolant temperature sender. Although there are many other possiblilites. Don't wait, get it figured out ASAP.
The temperature sensor (sends coolant temp to the PCM) is located in the top of the thermostat housing. The temperature sender (sends coolant temp to the gauge) is located in the bottom front of the same housing.
The engine coolant temperature sensor is the sensor that is screwed into the thermostat housing on the top front of the engine.
The "Coolant Sensor", for the ECU, is right next to the water neck at the front of the engine. the "Coolant sender", for the temperature guage, should be on the back of the head at the rear of the engine!
Follow the upper radiator hose to the thermostat housing. The coolant temperature sensor for the ECU (2-pin connector) is on the driver's side. The temperature sender for the guage (1-pin connector. is on the opposite side.
