I'm not sure, but YouTube helped me locate the one on my truck. In front of the radiator, there is a Ford 150. Yours, I believe, is as well. Look for a video that demonstrates how to replace the temperature sensor on a.
I'm the proud owner of a 2009 Lincoln MKS. It's located in the middle of the vehicle, underneath the radiator, and can be accessed from beneath the vehicle.
I'm not sure what I'm saying. It's for a car made in the United States; I'm not sure where Subaru is made. My best guess is that these parts are specific to the manufacturer.
We used it to read the outside temperature on a 2005 Lincoln Navigator. It's been working perfectly for a few months now.

I have a 2014 Mustang V6 and have always been perplexed as to why the outside temperature was always 50 degrees. That temperature would fluctuate from time to time (at one point, it was - 37 degrees), so I assumed there was a problem with an external temperature probe. Imagine my surprise when, after lifting the front of my car and scooting beneath the front bumper, I discovered the connecting wire zip-tied to the frame but no sensor attached! I tracked down the correct OEM part number and placed an order for it. It went on easily and was even attached to the inner bumper when it arrived. The temperature did not change at first. When I went for a drive, the temperature began to rise. It was only 1 degree off from the actual outside temperature. I'm relieved that the solution was so straightforward. The component appears to be of good quality. What else can you ask for? It works.
No matter what the outside temperature was, the old sensor read a consistent 50 degrees. The old sensor was found to be defective after an OBD2 diagnostic. br>br>Installation was simple but took some time. Getting access to the sensor was the most difficult part of the installation. It's hidden behind the lower front grill on the Mustang's driver's side. I had to crawl under the car and remove the undercar shield, which was held in place by 14 (possibly more) screws. Then I disconnected the old sensor from its wiring harness, removed it, and replaced it with the new sensor. br>br>It took the new sensor about 24 hours to "calibrate" and display an accurate outside temperature after installation. For the past three months, I've been using the new sensor. So far, everything has gone well! br>br>***January 2020 Update***: This temperature sensor has been working flawlessly for over a year.
I removed my grill (4 plastic anchors) from my 2008 Mountanere, then removed the plastic panel behind it, and there it was, drivers side, to the right of the headlight. Take care when removing it from its socket; I snapped one of the retaining clips. I also had to remove the battery for 5 minutes to allow the computer to reset. Now it displays the correct outside temperature, which was 97 degrees yesterday. It had been reading prior to that. The AC would turn off if the temperature reached 40 degrees. If you require one, Dorman produces excellent products at a fraction of the price charged by dealers.
The dealer will charge $38 for the part, plus an additional $120 for installation. I had to remove the plastic undercover to get to this thing because it was right behind the front bumper. I had to pull a little to get the old one off, but I was able to get it off and replace it with this. The temperature has now become extremely precise. I'm not complaining because the original lasted 5 years and is likely exposed to a lot of elements where it's located. I'm hoping for another 5 years or more from this one!.
The issue with the vehicle's air conditioning not working properly has been resolved. The old unit displayed any number between 0 and 120, preventing the air conditioner from working. Once you've loosened the grille, it's a breeze to install.
I have an 08 Escape, and using ForScan, I was able to enable this feature (which was deactivated at the factory), and it was as simple as plugging this in and turning it on. The outside temperature is now displayed correctly on the dash.
After I installed this replacement temperature sensor, I noticed that it was extremely accurate right away!.
It's a perfect fit for my Mercury Mountaineer from 2002. Temperature outside /- My phone indicates a difference of 1 degree. Remove the grille, which is located on the left side of the radiator and is held in place by several plastic screws. Remove the old connector by loosening the connector's clips.
