I think it's on the radiator, on the rear side, in the top-passenger corner, a few inches from the top. There should be wires coming out of it obviously. I might be completely wrong haha

Your right. It is that square looking sensor on the passenger side about halfway down. (just far enough to be a bitch) I unplugged mine when it went bad. That is one way to eliminate the light if that is what you are getting at.

After replacing mine two times I just unplugged it, wrapped it with black electrial tape, zip tied it out of sight, and life is good. I never have to look at that stupid yellow dash light again. If you do this please make it a habit to watch your temp and oil pressure. Like you didn't know that....sorry I sound like a dad.

Try pulling it out and cleaning it off with some rubbing alcohol and a rag first. They just accumulate crap on them, cleaning them sometimes fixes the problem.

There's a small metal clip that fits on the outside of it, just pop the clip off and pull the sensor back towards the engine, it should pop right out.

drain the coolant first, so it doesn't make a big mess when you pull the sensor out to clean it.
