This is a pretty common question because Ford does not call it a coolant temp sensor. They call it a cylinder head temperature sensor.

Here are a couple guides that will help with the step by step portion of replacing a common sensor:

However, the location of this sensor is in the cylinder head. Please take a look at the info below. Let us know if you have questions.

Thanks
