Detailed Description

This coolant temperature sender is used to report engine coolant temperature to the vehicle’s monitoring system, helping maintain accurate temperature feedback for the dash gauge or engine management strategy, depending on application. Walker Products 214-1029 is listed for multiple Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury platforms, including long-tail search applications such as a coolant temperature sender for 2001-2008 Ford Escape, an engine coolant temperature sender for 1996-1997 Ford Mustang, and a sender-only replacement for 2005-2008 Mercury Mariner.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., SW-110, SW5110) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part May Resolve

• Inaccurate coolant temperature readings on the gauge
• Intermittent or erratic temperature signal output
• Faulty sender readings after sensor wear or corrosion
• Temperature-related warning light concerns tied to sender failure
• Replacement needs during cooling system service on Ford Escape, Mustang, or Mariner applications

Installation Notes and Tips
