Are you trying to find the coolant sensor? It is 12 o'clock right above the water pump in front of the intake.

Download the 06 Srvc Man from the links on my sig link and look on page 1029

Your coolant fan is belt driven. The little electric fan is for the a/c condensor and if you have the selector on any setting that directs airflow to the windshield, then it will run and the compressor will cycle or id the snowflake button light is on.

Its the coolant fan not the ac condensor.. I know its belt driven maybe the clutch is messed up. But when the truck is off it free spins?

That sounds mechanical, the fan clutch is bad. Time for an E-fan upgrade.
