The sensor and plug is on the left side of the oil pan, a bit forward of the center of the engine.

Its the wire hanging at the bottom of the pic.

The somewhat confusing part is that when you see it, you're looking
straight down at the top of it. It's in the bump- out in the pan.

where it came loose is likely to be the connector to the loom though. Up near the front next to the timing cover on the drivers side. Should see it near the thermostat housing area.

Got it, thanks. Makes more sense, I was just not familiar with how the sensor was placed in the oil pan then where the connector went.
It looks like it wire got spliced to a connector then came loose.

they crap out all the time. plastic goes really hard and the connector just pretty much breaks up into pieces.
