Just above the LED is where they usually sit. There are slight differences for both sensors and the thermostats. Most likely the combination of an aging sensor and poor connections was adding up to make yours read low. There is a good chance nothing was even wrong with your sensor but moving the connector and wiping the contacts during disconnect and reconnect was the actual fix.

Before the original one died, the needle on the gauge ran dead center over the warning light. Now it sits on the upper edge of the warning light. It doesn't move past that spot when I drive. It does cause me some concern because it's reading "high". Is there that much of a difference in sensitivity on replacement sensor?
