1996 Ford Escort
1.9L Auto

I had motor mounts installed on my car Monday and the next day it overheated. I replaced the thermostat and it still overheats. I went to replace the fan and found this object sitting between the radiator and fan assembly. Any idea if this is a fan sensor or something?

I'm probably wrong but it sure looks like the center piece of a thermostat....

I think you are EXACTLY right Double J as usual. That should not be put back in but a new one IMO,
