Are you getting any codes? more likely then not I think its the sensor that has failed or is just not hooked up. IIRC its on the bottom/back of the thermostat housing.

i replaced that sensor but im not sure if the connection is correct the clip that went on it broke off from the frail wires and now i have two wires that arnt hooked up to something and i dont know which one it is..does anyone kno the color of the wire that hooks up to the sensor?
