Product Description

This Sebring SWITCH TEMP SENSOR 2PIN (FAE 33746) is designed to accurately monitor engine temperature and relay this information to your Ford's control systems. As a crucial component in the SWITCHES TEMPERATURE category, it helps ensure your vehicle's cooling system operates efficiently, protecting the engine from overheating and related damage. The sensor features a robust brass threaded body and a 2-pin rectangular connector for secure and reliable electrical contact.

This temperature sensor is specifically made for Ford vehicles. Please note that sensor compatibility can vary by model, year, engine size, and engine code, so it is essential to confirm these details before purchase. Commonly used in models like the Ford Focus 1.6 16V from 1998 to 2004, this sensor may also fit other Ford engines requiring a 2-pin temperature switch, but always verify fitment for your exact vehicle.

A faulty temperature sensor can cause a variety of issues, including erratic temperature gauge readings, engine overheating, poor fuel economy, increased emissions, and hard starting. Other signs may include the cooling fan not activating at the correct temperature or the engine warning light illuminating unexpectedly. Recognising these symptoms early can prevent more serious engine problems.

When replacing this part, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery for safety. Remove the old sensor carefully, taking note of the O-ring or washer for proper sealing. Installing a new temperature sensor helps restore accurate temperature monitoring and reliable cooling system operation.
