When I bought my '96 Bonneville it's temperature was only correct around
once every 5 times I drove the car. I went to a local junk yard and for free
they gave me a new temp sensor, which was bolted to the front of the car in
front of the radiator. If you would like to get a new one instead, I priced
them and they were only $20 from a dealer here in Ontario Canada. I just
figured that I shouldn't replace it with a new one when the used one works
perfect.
