Inger,

I'm having the same problem and have a post running also (approximately 9-29).

The sensor is easy to get at if you have a short/stuby wrench, but to make it much easier to access and remove. I did the following in <5 minutes using a standard length wrench. 1) Remove serpentine belt from alternator. 2) Remove alternator (only 3 bolts accessed from the top) and move to the side. It will now be very easy to access the sensor. I do suggest cleaning the area well before hand, so no foreign matter gets inside.

Work issues have prevented me from replacing the sensor or trouble shooting this further.

Please keep us posted as to the resolution.
