Hey bud what are the symptoms to have to replace this sensor and I’m looking at mine and I have one red and I looks like it has wires to it and one gray does that mean I have two sensors and I’m looking on yours as you’re doing it and I don’t see that second one on yours what’s going on there reply would be nice company truck one man one truck one show and it won’t go no power when taking off

@utahjonnymontana8698 3 года назад

Thanks so I can eliminate that Keep up the videos because I got to keep my Ford ranger going thank you

@utahjonnymontana8698 3 года назад

So what you’re saying if that sensors reading wrong it could throw off the timing and causes lack of of power no smoke comes out Like I was told it would if the timing was off and I got one garage telling me $1700 to replace the timing belt or I need a new motor can’t believe that can’t afford that I just hope the guy when he had the computer on it messing with my time and he didn’t try to set himself up a job for a later date you know what I mean

5 Stars!! 2 Thumbs up!! It's so refreshing to get an instructional video as thorough as this. Most people will skip the small details (either verbally, with the video recording, or both), assuming it's common sense and "goes without saying," but thats never going to be the case for 100% of your audience, hence the reason they are watching an instructional video. Although "I" only needed to confirm that my leaking sensor was in deed the temperature sending sensor(as there are 2 sensors side by side and I didn't know which was which), there will be several others who need this video for other sections or the video in it's entirety. Fantastic job 1A AUTO PARTS. I will definitely be subscribing and will look here FIRST in the future in hopes of a video that covers my next mechanical issue in which I need assistance in solving. Keep up this same, perfect structure and method to your instructional videos. I've watched tens if not over a hundred mechanically instructional videos through the years and I rate this one #1 by far. Thank you and again, fantastic job on your thorough-ism.

GREAT video. Thank you for posting. I put it to use just 2 weeks ago. Mine catastrophically failed at the gas station but I received the trouble code which pointed directly to this faulty switch. I had a sudden crank, no-start condition and observed (and smelled) fuel coming out of the exhaust while cranking. It started after about 2 minutes of cranking (saving a tow) but it ran rough and I got it right home. Note that there are rectangular and round electrical connectors and you want to be sure to match yours up. The bad switch was reading in MOhms (Mega) when it should have been KOhms.

@michaelfitzgerald1865 5 лет назад

Thanks for the video not as bad as I expected because another how to video here says to pull the intake to get to the sensor. That's something I'm not confident in doing on the gravel drive here. If I had a garage I wouldn't have as much hesitation to attempt that.

@1AAuto 5 лет назад

+Michael Fitzgerald Thank you for your positive feedback!

@michaelfitzgerald1865 5 лет назад

@@1AAuto You might want to reassess your tools needed list. I remember removing parts off my '99 Explorer while following your video and I know I needed more than what you listed. The only thing I can remember at the moment is the bolts holding the plastic protector under the radiator needed a 10 mm socket. I recall needing a 8mm and a 13, jjust not where.

@nattysam94 5 месяцев назад

Question: when it comes to the final step of bleeding the coolant. What do I do if my blower fan ONLY blows/responds when set on level 4? Just purchased the truck and nothing blows out of settings 1-3. Will that affect the bleeding process? Thank you!

@stevenbee1757 6 лет назад

Thanks! Also helps to put some silicon spray or other type of lube that evaporates to help squeeze the sensor out. Don't forget to replace the gasket if you replace the thermostat.

No, here is what I found for the 4.0L ranger, mine is a 2002. Ford part numbers for each (confirm via your own research): 3L8Z-12A648-A : ECM Sensor (the one in this video) 3F1Z-10884-AA : Gauge Cluster Sender

@Whiskey_Zombie 2 года назад

Can you change the coolant temperature sensor without draining the coolant, or will that just make a mess? Also, do you have to remove the thermostat housing cover to get to the coolant temp sensor?

@ooyaaa1562 2 года назад

@codered9721 2 года назад

It would be more of a pain if you tried it this way, given the fact that you have to remove the upper rad hose.. yes it will make a mess 😂

@edwincartagena3349 7 лет назад

My temperature gauge doesn't move do you think I should do this process

@elijahkitts1037 2 года назад

Not sure if you answer questions on your videos but I figure it’s worth a try. I drive a 2008 ford ranger XLT with the 4.0. The temperature gauge got really hot last night while idling but never shot any fluid anywhere and then this morning I figured I’d replace the thermostat as shown in this video but I ran my truck to go get the parts and came back home and let it sit at an idle watching the gauge for just over 10 minutes and it never got hot. However the fuel gauge did go from just under a 1/4 of a tank to E in those 10 minutes but once I shut it off and ran back to O’Reillys and came back the gauge had fixed and the gas light had gone off and the gauge was going back up to what it was before. Any ideas on what I should do?

@l.a.raustadt518 8 месяцев назад

My 09 4.0 Ranger shows that temp sensor but has no problems. Will wait and see maybe just a dirty connector on sensor.

@albinobarag5421 Год назад

Ask if the Diesel engine ford ranger 2008 have temperature sensor too

@alive-awake 7 месяцев назад

Would you say this is an accurate time frame in which it took you to do this job? Or, did you stop the video for any of it? Reason I'm asking is I want to see how much labor my mechanic charges me to do this. My engine light came on on my 09 ranger xlt. My OBD scanner says "Coolant Thermostat (Coolant Temp Below Thermostat Regulating Temperature). There's water leaking around the area of right front tire a little in and behind the front tire. Should I have it towed or can I drive it 12 miles to my mechanic? The radiator overflow is at the fill line.

@neilwilliams8608 7 лет назад

@1AAuto 4 года назад

+M. Hill If the sensor is reading too high of temperature when compared to the ambient air temperature sensor when first started then the computer would see it as a problem and turn on the check engine light an go into failure management mode and use a known good reading.

I really need help I have a 2005 ford ranger that is hard to start, sometimes it when it starts on the road it squeals and takes off really fast. It also sometimes after being turned off for a few minutes or just starting down the road it only reach 27 mph and makes a repeated noise until we move the gear shift very slightly but leave it on the D and it goes normal. We have had it on machines and it shows a coolant temp sensor but then we replaced it and it still showed coolant temp sensor on the multimeter car scanner and also harder to start. The new sensor from Advance Auto Parts was also much harder to put on than the original one and had a different number on the sensor. Any suggestions! We have changed the fuel pump, inertia switch, and the throttle position sensor as well.
