Thread: Coolant level sensor bad??

take it out, clean it, if it still acts up, change it. this is of course providing your rad is full. yet the light comes on.

Taken from another forum post ^

cool, i dont have to type that up now lol

Yeah lol. I remember seeing it a while back. I was like ehh, I couldn't have said it better, might as well find it and copy/paste.

Just unplug it and forget about it

I'd try cleaning it first, they're not cheap for what they are. If cleaning it doesn't work, I'd say go to a junk yard if you really care about it, just make sure it's clean. I mean, advance sells them for $52, rockauto's lowest is $36.

LOL seems like someone always has the same problem as me. On my 00 My coolant is fine but the light flickers really dimly and my 06 is almost dry in the reservoir but not a light on at all

I have a bad sensor. I give zero sh*ts about it. I know it's not low so no biggy lol

Then Just unplug it the light goes out
