Where is the CTS??

When changing my spark plugs I must have knocked off the wire, because now my temp guage does not work. Any idea on where the sensor is located? I cannot seem to find it.

On the 4.0: just behind and beside your alternator is a large black coolant hose heading into the engine - follow it down to the engine. Right above where that thermostat housing joins on there are two sensors on top. One is EEC temp sensor and the other is dash guage sensor.i You usually have to remove the AC hose brackets to be able to get enough access in there. You can just push the hoses aside then and reconnect your wire (hopefully you don't have to take off the hose)
