FORD RANGER 2.3 COOLANT TEMP SENSOR LOCATION CRACK

Simply pull out toward the driver's side to remove it. There's a small lock clip at the bottom that we can grab with a pair of needle nose pliers. The one we are looking for is the one here on the driver's side. The coolant temp sensor's located below the intake manifold, just behind the thermostat housing that we've just removed. We'll reach down, pop out the thermostat and remove that as well. Once the bolts are out and with the thermostat housing cover loose, remove it from the vehicle. We may have to use a wrench to get to these three 8 millimeter bolts on the thermostat cover. We're going to use an 8 millimeter socket ratchet extension and a U-joint. Take that clamp out of the way while you're there. Once the clamp is off, you can remove the hose. Squeeze the spring clamp together with the pliers and once the tension's off, you can remove it from the end of the hose. We'll remove this clamp, we'll take the hose off of our thermostat so we can remove the cover. Our upper radiator hose which runs from the radiator at the top on the passenger side, up and around to our thermostat housing under the throttle body, can be removed with a pair of needle nose pliers. We have a little more slack to get the harness out of the way of our thermostat. There's no need to disconnect the battery here because we're only doing this so we can move the wiring harness a little out of the way.

You may need an extension to get a little more room. Remove the top alternator bolt with a 13 millimeter socket and ratchet. You'll also have to remove this breather line from the back, so we'll remove the intake tube from the throttle body and the MAF, pull it straight off the breather and remove it from the vehicle. We'll then wiggle the tube off of the MAF sensor on the throttle body and remove it from the vehicle. We're going to use a flat blade screwdriver to loosen these two screw type clamps on our intake tube. Use a small Phillip's head screwdriver to remove these two screws, and a seven millimeter socket and ratchet for the bolt in the back. We're going to remove this cover over the throttle body. We're going to place our low level drain bucket underneath the truck while we finish the repairs. If you're doing this on the ground or on jack stands, you may want to leave the drain bucket under there to catch any excess coolant that comes out of the system. Just wipe that little bit of drip off the bottom there.

We'll crack it loose until it starts draining and wait for the radiator to be completely empty. Don't open the drain plug all the way, as coolant will come out the end where the plug sits in. We'll open up the petcock with a 19mm wrench. Set up a drain bucket underneath your drain plug, which is located on the passenger side of the radiator at the bottom. You may need a flat blade screwdriver to remove the plastic push-pins securing it in, but usually you can just grab both sides and pull down. We put our vehicle on the lift to make it easier to show you, but you should be able to do this job with the vehicle on the ground. We're going to use a socket, ratchet and a long extension for this. Remove the four 10mm bolts securing this plastic cover underneath the radiator. Simply push down and turn counterclockwise. Remove the radiator cap at the top of the radiator on the driver's side. Here are the items you'll need for this repair: 7-13mm sockets, ratchet, socket extensions, u-joints, drain bucket, 19mm wrench, Phillips screwdriver, flat blade screwdriver, needle nose pliers, coolant, and funnel.
