1. **Preparation**:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety.
- Elevate and secure the vehicle with jack stands if necessary.
2. **Locate the Sensor**:
- The crankshaft position sensor is typically located near the transmission bell housing where it can read the position of the crankshaft. On many Chrysler V6 engines, it's on the driver's side of the engine near where the engine and transmission meet.
3. **Remove the Sensor**:
- Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor.
- Remove the retaining bolt(s) holding the sensor in place using a socket wrench.
- Gently wiggle and pull the sensor out. Be careful not to break it as you might need to remove broken pieces if it shatters.
4. **Install the New Sensor**:
- Before installing the new sensor, compare it to the old one to ensure they are identical.
- Gently insert the new sensor into the mounting hole.
- Tighten the sensor's retaining bolt(s). Avoid over-tightening as this can damage the sensor.
- Reconnect the electrical connector.
5. **Final Steps**:
- Lower the vehicle if elevated.
- Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Start the vehicle to ensure everything is working correctly.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety.
- Elevate and secure the vehicle with jack stands if necessary.
