Detailed Product Description

The Delphi SS12164 crankshaft position sensor is engineered to monitor the rotational speed and position of the crankshaft in your vehicle's engine. Its black and gray housing is built to withstand engine bay conditions while maintaining signal integrity. Featuring a single oval-shaped female connector with three male pin terminals, this sensor ensures a secure and precise connection to the vehicle’s wiring harness. The absence of a wiring harness in the package means it is intended as a direct replacement sensor compatible with existing vehicle wiring.

This sensor is compatible with a range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including the Expedition, Explorer, F-150, Flex, GT, MKT, Navigator, Taurus, and Transit series (150, 250, 350, and 350 HD). The part number SS12164 should be referenced to confirm fitment with your specific model and engine configuration.
