Does the radiator fluid need to be drained to change out the Temperature Control Sensor on a 95 Mustang?

Reason I ask is I'm at work and wanna change it out here. It's located on the front side of the heater tube and I can not remember for the life of me rather or not that tube keeps radiator fluid in it once the car is turned off.

Its been a while since I ****ed with it, but I don't think it does

Make sure it is cool. I opened my radiator cap, Replaced it to neutralize any pressure, then changed mine. Lost very little fluid. Same for the temp (gauge) sender.

Mine didn't leak a drop.

Yeah if the system is cooled down, you might see a few drops leak out depending if your pipes are bent and angled or not. As long as its cool it should be depressurized.

Got it done and no I didn't loose any fluid at all.
