The coolant sensor wires for the computer are yellow and brown. The coolant fan wire is green/white. The coolant sender wire for the gauge is green. Good luck!

The coolant temp sender for the computer has yellow and black wires. The sender for the guage has solid dark green for the warning light, and dark green w/ yellow stripe for the temp guage. The ECM sender is located in the intake manifold near the thermostat and the fan switch, which has only 1 wire. The sender for the guages is in the cylinder head next to the ignition coil on the V6 cars. I don't remember where it's at on the L4 cars.
