- Q:How do you replace the engine coolant temperature sensor for the 2005 Ford Excursion? Posted by Customer
- A:To replace the sensor, ensure the ignition key is in the OFF position and drain approximately one gallon from the cooling system. On 6.0L models, disconnect the wiring connector for the cooling fan, disconnect the electrical connector, and carefully unscrew the sensor. On 6.4L engines, remove the air cleaner housing to access the sensor, which is located near the base of the oil filter housing. Wrap the threads of the new sensor with Teflon sealing tape to prevent leakage and thread corrosion. On 6.4L engines, the sensor is sealed with an O-ring, so do not use tape, just install a new O-ring. Installation is the reverse of removal.Posted by FordPartsGiant Specialist

If it doesn't, there may be a problem in the circuit from the sender to the instrument panel.Posted by FordPartsGiant Specialist

- Q:I suspect I have a bad Engine Coolant Temperature sensor (the one that feeds the computer). My understanding is the one I am after has two leads/wires on the plug. The only one I can locate has one lead and I suspect it is the temp gauge sender. I have a 1997 Mercury Sable Wagon (LS) with a 3.0 Duratec engine. Your listing does not have a picture so I'm not sure if it the correct one let alone where it is located. Can you help before I place the order?? The gauge was working fine. The car cranks but won't start. I'm thinking if the sensor is bad the computer thinks the engine temperature is out of limits therefor won't let the engine start. I know it is pretty weird but I have seen it happen in a video posting. Posted by Customer: 1997 Mercury Sable
