Engine temp light on

So this morning start up the truck and instantly the engine temp light come on. Now it's sat all night and there was no way it was overheating so the sensor must be bad or a conection has come off. Can someone direct me where to look for that sensor on the 7.3? The radiator is full and it's never come on before.

Clint
