How do you change speedometer cable in 1996 Mercury Sable?

I am having the same problems with a used 96 sable bought recently. No speddometer odometer trip odometer and no radio function. (also low coolant level idiot light is always on, though the expansion tank has coolant in it)I understand that this car has no speedo cable, it is electrical. a shop told me that the dash cluster is bad. I am going to replace the dash cluster myself with a used one. I will update you on the progress, and check here periodically for other useful tips in troubleshooting/ repair advice.

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.
