reallyneedhelp, you do not specify what engine you have. So, I am going to take a stab at what you are after and this should hopefully get you on the right path. If you have the 5.0L petrol/gas engine, then I recommend you remove the cover off the top of the engine. Next, locate the throttlebody and find the coolant hose feeding the throttle body. Now, follow this back about 12 inches or so to a plastic coolant manifold.on the right hand side of the engine. Where the hose enters this manifold will be a bulge, the lower half of that bulge has the coolant temp sensor in it.

If you have the 3L diesel engine (only available outside of the US), then you need to look in the left hand front corner of the engine bay in the EGR cooler inlet pipe. You should see the sensor sticking up there.

It's a bit of a pain to get too. Much easier if you remove the intake manifold first. Mine was throwing a fault but changing it didn't clear after I swapped it though.
