You can Select Your Vehicle to check if F65Z-10884-AA fits your vehicle.

To test the temperature sender, it should read in the cold range when the engine is cold. Disconnect the electrical connector from the sender and attach a jumper wire between the two pins of the connector. With the key ON, the gauge should swing to full hot. If it doesn't, there may be a problem in the circuit from the sender to the instrument panel.

To replace the sensor, ensure the ignition key is in the OFF position and drain approximately one gallon from the cooling system. On 6.0L models, disconnect the wiring connector for the cooling fan, disconnect the electrical connector, and carefully unscrew the sensor. On 6.4L engines, remove the air cleaner housing to access the sensor, which is located near the base of the oil filter housing. Wrap the threads of the new sensor with Teflon sealing tape to prevent leakage and thread corrosion. On 6.4L engines, the sensor is sealed with an O-ring, so do not use tape, just install a new O-ring. Installation is the reverse of removal.

The coolant temperature indicator system consists of a temperature gauge on the dashboard and a coolant temperature sending unit located on the engine.

To replace the sending unit, disconnect the electrical connector and unscrew the sensor from the engine. It is advisable to install the replacement unit quickly to minimize coolant loss.
