Is this the right temp sensor for an overhead console?

PIC INCLUDED : Is this the right temp sensor for an overhead console?

I just bought an overhead console from someone and they weren't sure what exactly was the temp sensor, so they sent me a couple things. They sent me two of these same looking things.
Is this the right temp sensor?

If this doesn't work you can go to http://community.webshots.com/storage/1/v1/8/77/62/54987762MoYFbH_ph.jpg

to check it out.

Thanks!

Hey! I'm in the middle of installing my overhead console right now. I have the cutout made and the bracket installed. Just the wiring left. Man...that headliner is all fiberglass insulation...VERY itchy when it gets on you!!!
I could not get either of your pictures to work. The site won't let me access.
My new temp sensor looks like a fat threaded, plastic bolt with a wire connection on one end. It's only about 2 inches long.

The temp sensor assembly is about the same size as a fat cigar and has a plug in sensor on one end and blue and blue/white wires on the other. There are two different types of overhead consoles too. One from 95-96 (blue display) and 97+ (green display). You have to have the correct sensor depending on which one you have. I have a console from a 97+ and a temp sensor from a 2001 and it works perfectly.

I have seen other pictures of temp sensor but the one i have looks a little different. that's why i want to see if this could possibly be it.

Yep, that's exactly what mine looks like...direct from Ford. I also checked underneath a 2000 Explorer and that's what his looked like too! Hope the install goes well. I am heading out to do some wiring on mine...still itching from that fiberglass stuff though??!!

Awesome!

Make sure you do post some pics if you can of yours when you finish.

Sorry about the itching, too!
