Haz... Once again...thank you very much...

Haz, Firstly....sorry for the late reply...and thank you for this detailed procedure...quite complex to try and explain to the mechanic, but Ill try to do my best...to try and relay this info to him...once again thank you for ur time...really apprciate it...and hopefully we can sort this problem with my Ford...

Hi gents...Im new to the forum and havent ever commented nor posted anything...Im in abit of a situation that I need help in and would really appreciate any advice to my problem...So, the problem: I have a 2016 Ford Edge Sport 2.7lt EcoBoost with roughly 48'000km(29´000 miles roughly), I maintain the car very well and it has never given me any problems prior to this situation...about 2 months ago in the morning when going to work the ENGINE COOLANT OVER TEMP light came on about 5 min of my drive...so obviously I stopped the car and got it towed too the mechanics, after about 3 hours of the car being switched off, I started the car and the temp gauge showed the car at HIGH TEMP again which was actually impossible as the car was cold, but CLEARED the fault to make sure and the FAULT came back, making me to believe that it was not the engine that was HOT and must be some other problem. I did some research on YOUTUBE...and found that there are cases that the ENGINE COOLANT TEMP SENSOR have faults and its a simple as a sensor change...Me living in ANGOLA(Africa...yes AFRICA)...and the local FORDS here are not American imports but rather Brazilian and Indian Fords, and the local FORD DEALERS dont stock US parts...so I had to do my own import which I did...the sensor arrived this week and we replaced the sensor to find that the same error has displayed...can anyone please give me some info...please help...
