Coolant temp sensor

That's a pic from on the ground did not climb up to see from top side so there might be better access.

 

The wire thats not attached is the wire that plugs into the sensor. I've attempted to make a video several times and post it. Hoping some one can see what I'm missing. But that's not working out yet. There's another cascadia a couple spits over. I'm gonna ask them if I can see it on there truck after they wake up. I have the v pipe and the breather off. Still to no avail.

 

It should be right here

 

So how did it disappear?

 

Lol I'm really starting to think so. I'm going crazy trying to find it.

I'm starting to think I don't know what I'm looking for

 

@Gridaxe5588 after comparing the picture to my engine. They are just slightly different. Thank you for the picture thou

 

Yes, the brass plug that is leaking is the same location that Gridaxe posted and circled in red. Make sure to check under the cooler that the sensor is not there like in the short video where the person is changing the sensor. So, if you were to put a sensor in place of the leaking brass plug there is enough wire for the connector to plug into the sensor? As I said before there is usually just enough wire to reach where a connector plugs into the correct sensor.
Did this happen after someone worked on the truck? If someone disconnected it there would have been a code on the dash right away. Or someone removed the sensor and jumpered the connector. Or someone needed a sensor and stole yours.

 

There was a code right away. But the shop was closed till Monday and I picked it up Friday. I was thinking its only a plug im not gona hold any grudges. But then I got into realising what it went to.
Yes the wire does reach that leaky bolt. I forgot to mention that earlier sorry

 

Its amazing the quality work that comes out of some of these places. Truck shouldn't have even left the bay with a new, active code related to recent work and a leak.

 

From what I can tell they look identical to me. Whomever worked on your truck should not be allowed to turn a wrench on another truck period. Heck I'm just a shade tree mechanic and I can do better work than that using a list of codes and YouTube.
