Same here. I tried 2 different sensors and nothing so I was checking wires for bare spots and wiggling stuff and nothing worked..... except the right sensor.
^ D5AZ-12A648-AB (Motorcraft DY-961) replaced by 3F1Z-12A648-A .. EEC Coolant Temperature Sensor (Motorcraft DY-1144).
F65Z-10884-AA .. Water Temperature Sensor (Motorcraft SW-5130).
I figured this thread would ping Bill's radar!
So to make sure I have this sorted out correctly;
Sensor that sends coolant temp to the dash is part number F65Z-10884-AA aka SW-5130 aka 36447 when found at Advance, Amazon etc. Mounts on top of water pump.
Sensor that sends engine temp to the PCM is part number 3F1Z-12A648-A aka DY-1144. This same sensor is mounted in two different locations depending on transmission. On autos it is on the back of HPOP, but on manuals it is mounted above CPS at location show below. Pics courtesy of SkiSkyJason LLC.
