This should be located next to your thermostat housing. To locate follow the top radiator hose to the engine which will bring you to your housing. Then look around for a sensor like device that has two wires coming out near your housing. This should be your sensor.

Depending on the year and engine size it will most likely be located on the cylinder head above the transmission. Older models will have a single wire while modern, computerized models will have 2 or more. Unplugging and/or grounding the wire with the key on and watching the gauge will tell you if you found the right one.

The coolant temperature sensor for a ford escort is located in front of the pulley wheel. It is a certain color that makes it noticable. That should be checked if you have an A/C problem.
