here's a pic of what the service manual (online) says it should look like:

...but looking here, there looks to be multiple shapes for the same part?

here's a couple pics of my best guess as to where it goes...



but the rear most plug thing has 4 prongs, not just 1.


anyone know if i just recieved the wrong part, or am i looking in the wrong area on my engine?

Just to understand...are you trying to replace the sensor that operates your temperature gauge? Or. a sensor for your aux. fan or main fan?

OK, I see you have the California model that came with the check engine light. It's just a matter of locating the sensor location. Someone on this forum should know.
