This location has proven over years to provide the fastest response to temp changes- but is on the exhaust side of the cylinder head which is normally to be avoided. In this case, the location is around 100mm from the nearest exhaust port and so temp changes due to higher exhaust temps are not significant.
Please note: this was part way through the installation. The cable was then run up to the tappet cover and firmly secured to prevent vibration on the cable that can cause the copper strands to fatigue and fail.
If the Ranger or BT50 is either a manual or the owner wants maximum protection this location on the front of the engine shows accurate actual coolant temp. Use the lower bolt with the second sensor on an EG01-2 dual bolt-on sensor system.
This engine bay fuse location F38 is for heated seats and is ignition switched so the owner can get a 12v supply from here and run a positive cable in with the sensor cable(s).
This is a typical low profile piggy back fuse adaptor that allows the plastic cover to still fit on the fuse box
This is a typical second sensor location on the pan of the transmission.
