Now it is dead....does not ever come off the bottom peg. Searching for parts online, they list TWO items..... a coolant temperature sensor, and a coolant temperature sender. Which of these should I replace? I think I can see from the pic in my Chilton's book that it is on the left side, front of the engine. But I need to buy the right part first!

That's the parts that signals the gauge. The sensor is the part that communicates with the computer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. grandpa New User Jul 21, 2009, 8:08 AM Post #3 of 3 (4629 views) Re: '96 Ford Contour temp gauge not working Sign In Thank you very much.
