It's in line with, and immediately in front of, the thermostat housing. It
has a single yellow/green wire with a black sleeve covering it.

Two tests before you mess with it:
1) Check the #15 fuse in the under-dash fuse box (actually REMOVE it to
check);
2) With the ignition OFF, remove the connector from the sender and short
the yel/grn wire to a ground. Go sit back in the driver's seat, and turn
the ignition ON. The gauge should begin to move to full-hot. TURN IGNITION
OFF BEFORE GAUGE ACTUALLY REACHES FULL HOT!
