Engine Coolant Temperature sensor housing
I follow the directions for changing the ECT sensor on a 1997 Ford Explorer 4.0 SOHC. It has two sensors, one for the gauge and one for the engine. Put a deep socket on the sending unit one for the gauge, gave a turn and thought it had broke loose. Apparently, the sensor is screwed into a sleeve inside what appears to be a plastic cover on the base of the thermostat housing. The sensor sleeve appears to have spun inside the plastic cover as I tried to unscrew it. Is this repairable only by replacement from Ford or should this part be available at a parts store, or can it be repaired?
Thanks
