Holy crap. $20 Coolant Temperature Sensor.
I'm going to have to take the exhaust manifold off and 4-5 other things to replace it or pay a mechanic $300+ to do it.
Prior to 2008 it was up front of the engine on the driver side in a not too bad place.
Check these pictures to see where they moved it too.
First view . . . this is the wire running to the sensor. Yes that is the very far back of the engine bay.
Here's where it actually screws in - had to take it from underneath the car.
I hope those engineers have a bad Christmas.
