I shoulda annotated that better. I'm not aware of any make or model car or truck that requires the stuff I sited to be removed. The theory and the practice generally work out to be the same, the job is essentially easy. It isn't always simple -- there can be stuff that keeps you from getting the wrench where it needs to be -- but the replacement of the part is still easy. Unplug it. Unscrew it. Screw in the new one. Plug in the new one.

You might want to invest in a digital multi-meter - a basic one is less than $25 at Radio Shack or Sears, and you can test the sensor yourself. The sensor is easy to locate, and you can figure out which wire is which with the meter. BTW, you had asked what the part number for the sensor was, but it is generally not a good idea to purchase parts by part number because the part numbers are sometimes superseded by updated or revised parts, or if the part number you give is wrong, then you are stuck with the wrong part because electrical parts are generally not returnable unless they are defective. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply)
