According to my copy of the 94-01 factory service manual it is located on the left side of the steering wheel opening below the instrument panel.

PM me your e-mail, I will send copies of the wiring diagrams to you. There are several wires running to the unit in the later model trucks. tom_gonzalez@verizon.net

The sensor looks similar to the AIRTEX Part # 5S1136. You will need the socket setup with this one. 2 wire socket to fit male plug on the sensor.

Default overhead console

i am looking into seeing if i can change my overhead console. i have a 98 dodge ram and the console that i took out of another truck is out of a 99 has the two storage compartments one for a garage door opener and one for sunglasses. also the digital display. is this doable or am i going to be chasing my tail.
