The sensor should be in the tank (the right side, I think) of the radiator. They go bad regularly.

I've replace this sensor on a friends car before. LPete is correct, it's located on the passenger side tank of the radiator.

There's a little wire clip that holds it in that will need to be removed before the sensor can be taken out. Kinda hard to see it.
