Default Location of Water Temp Switch?

Does anyone know where the Water Temp Switch (circled in green) in the schematic below is located? This switch will turn on both of the electic fans on the back of the radiator.
Thanks,
Baetke

In this picture it looks like it is somewhere over the water pump, maybe by a hose connection

Thanks so much Guys!
The switch I was looking for is the one in the radiator picture that carguy07 posted. For future reference...this switch is called "Water Temp Switch #1" on the electrical diagram. "Water Temp Switch #2" is located on the thermostat housing.
