Originally posted by Ray: Where did you hear that the sensors are the same? It is my understanding that they are NOT the same, and will provide problems if anyone does this EXACT thing (previous threads are all because someone just "ordered 4 sensors and they are the same")
Please indicate how/where/anything you say they are the same.
In most cars they are the same. What usually will make them a different "exact fit" part # is plug design and wire length. Usually the universal design will have the same part # for up and downstream just as ODC stated. In some cars they are physically different, but for the Contours/Mystiques the sensor its self (not counting the wire length and plug design) is the same. There is no reason why anyone should have trouble with converting an upstream sensor to a downstream sensor unless they splice the wires incorrectly. I've been soing it for years and on hundreds of cars and have never had one single problem.
Parting out 95-97 Contours/Mystiques. Contact me directly at ALFIGOLS@yahoo.com if you're looking for a particular part.
