Coolant Sensor Bad in my 96 grand cherokee

I have a 1996 Grand Cherokee Limited, V8 5.2L. Recently it has been telling me that my coolant sensor is bad. I bought a new one but now I cant find where the bad one is located. My Chilton's says its to the left of the engine block under exhaust manifold, looked but cant find. Anyone have more detailed instructions for me?
Thanks!

Hope this helps.
