Coolant Temp Sensor for Gauge
 

This is a simple question ... and I know someone has the correct answer.

I've got a 93 S-10 Blazer 2WD with a 4.3 V6 (W) and a 4L60E transmission. I'm looking for the engine coolant temperature sensor for the instrument panel gauge. I've located the engine management coolant sensor just to the left of the thermostat, but I cannot locate the gauge sensor. Does anyone know the exact location of this sensor?
Thanks in advance,
jrp

hello, only advice i can give is call your local chevy dealer and ask to speak with a technition
there usualy very helpfull.

Hi jrp7329...
i have just replaced my temp sender .,..
Looking from the front of the engine, it was located on the right side of the block, under the last plug from the front...
if you come in from the 'doghouse', its under the first spark plug on the left...
hope this helps...

Temp sending unit for the gauge should be on the right side head(#s 1,3 and 5) towards the back near the brake booster(if not then the engine management one is also the one for the gauge)

For all beginners and people who just don't know. When describing location on the engine, or on the car, all locations should be described as if you are sitting in the drivers seat. Use terminology such as driver side and passenger side, not right or left. And never as if looking at the engine from front of vehicle! This will help us communicate more clearly and alleviate some of the confusion.:D

Original posts is extremly old

Just so you know I've had more customers standing looking at their car looking more confused when i told them drivers or passengers side than I did when i told them left or right.
