Switch or sensor? The sensor needs to be very near the top radiator hose. A switch can be anywhere.

Here's mine: the thin silver wire runs down to the sensor poked through the radiator near the top hose.

It will slide through the fins. I have mine about 2" to the side of my upper rad hose outlet/inlet and 2" below it. It helps it you get a small screwdriver or awl and open the fins and then grease the probe to slide in place. You know that works right??
