If it was not already 7 I would have called but I needed to show pics. I am sure that I am just doing something wrong. LOL

I was going to replace the temp sensor. Pic below. However it looks different from the one I have. Am I looking at the wrong sensor? As always you are the best.

Thanks
John

the 2 pic is the computer sensor,(for the fans) the first? dont recondnize it, but could be a light switch for the temp.. the 1st pic looks like a 1 pin terminal? if it is its for the temp light on dash

the replacement sensor is the coolant temp sensor that goes on top of the drivers side head at the front

the sensor you are looking at is going in the front cover and goes into an oil passage, but I'm not sure what it does exactly

BTW why are you replacing it?

Thanks guys. So I am looking at the wrong sensor. Does anyone have a pic of where the coolant temp sensor is located. I could have sworn that I looked at the top of the head but then again I might have been looking at the passenger side. This has to be the best site ever. Thanks again. I knew I was looking at something wrong.

Just finished putting the new sensor in. Thank you all so much. That little thing was a PITA to get to with all the tubes but only took a couple mins to replace.

Late to the party again? Sorry John but looks like you got it and your in good hands here.

Thank you Chuck. I figured that I was looking at the wrong thing and I was. Lol.

So why did you replace this temp sensor?

My temp gauge was showing some really low temps which were not normal. Turns out that the temp sensor went bad.
