Arrange it into a post and I'll hack it up and start the tech articles.
One thing I read 100 times that I know for sure not to be true, the temperature sensor is not always on the passenger side of the radiator support (for our international audience, the "right" side looking forward) after 3 painful days of reading and searching on the truck I found the temp sensor on the left side (driver side on most US vehicles) radiator support... 1997 Mountaineer.
In my experience, the OHC ambient temp sender is ALWAYS on the drivers side near the headlight clipped to the front side of the radiator support. However, the ambient temp sensor for the EATC system is usually found on the passenger side. These two sensors look identical but have different wire colors on the connector AND THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. The wire colors for the OHC are DB/WH and DB/YW. I have pin out diagrams if you need them.
