Delphi SS11765 Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor

Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor for Ford and Mercury

Delphi SS11765 is an engine crankshaft position sensor built for direct replacement in select Ford and Mercury applications. It uses a black and silver housing, a rectangular female connector, and a 2-blade terminal layout to match the original sensor connection on supported vehicles.

Backed by Delphi’s OE heritage and decades of supplier experience with major automakers, this sensor reflects the same engineering knowledge used in original equipment development. It is a practical choice for restoring crankshaft signal accuracy on vehicles such as the Ford Escort, Ford Focus, Ford Contour, Mercury Cougar, Mercury Mystique, and Mercury Tracer.

Key Features

• Engine crankshaft position sensor for ignition and engine management systems
• Black and silver sensor body
• Rectangular female connector with 1 connector and 2 male terminals
• Blade terminal type for OE-style electrical connection
• Wiring harness not included
• Package contents include the engine crankshaft position sensor and instruction sheet
• Delphi SS11765 replacement part number for supported Ford and Mercury vehicles

Detailed Description

Delphi SS11765 is an OE-style crankshaft position sensor that monitors crankshaft rotation and sends the signal needed for engine timing and fuel control. Delphi draws on 100 years of OE experience, and that background is reflected in the sensor’s fit, connector design, and application coverage. This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC95 for the same application.

Compatible With 1996 Ford Escort, 1996 Ford Contour, 1996 Mercury Tracer, 1998-2003 Ford Escort, 1998-2000 Mercury Mystique, 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, 2000 Ford Contour, and 2002 Ford Focus. If you are replacing a failing crankshaft sensor on a Ford Escort, Ford Focus, or Mercury Cougar, Delphi SS11765 provides a direct-fit service part reference for those listed applications.

What It Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by an inaccurate crankshaft signal
• Intermittent stalling or engine cut-out
• Misfire or rough-running conditions related to timing input loss
• Check engine light concerns tied to crankshaft position sensor faults
• No-start conditions when the engine control module cannot read crankshaft position

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. This sensor uses a rectangular female connector with blade terminals and does not include a wiring harness. Compare the original sensor location and electrical connection on the Ford Escort, Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, or other listed vehicle before replacement.

For best results, inspect the connector for corrosion or damaged terminals and confirm the mounting surface is clean before installing the new sensor. Use the included instruction sheet as a reference during service.

Quality Assurance

Delphi builds aftermarket parts using OE heritage and supplier knowledge developed through long-term work with leading automakers. That engineering background supports consistent fit and function for the listed applications.
