Default Engine Coolant Level Switch (how to bypass)non stock radiator.check out my vids

I finally got the car running.

This seems to be my last hicup.
I spent last night chasing down a fuel gauge error problem.

Now the only problem is the gauge keeps giving me a Low Coolant warning.

The whole pullout is out of a 04 GTO. and I didn't get the overflow resivor that has the Engine Coolant Level Switch.

I have the plug and I'm sure I just need to connect the 2 wire with a resistor between them.

If someone ownes a 04 gto and pulls this plug and attaches an ohm meter they could tell me what there's reads, thats all that should be needed.


Here's my vids of her maiden voyage, had a little fender rub but with the corvette suspension you just adjust the upper a-arm and problem solved.

does the sensor still work I've seen post of these going out.

I would rather just know what ohms its puting off when closed,
I think just running a magnet against it will cause it to close.
The sensor itself is not submerged but a foating magnet is what causes the reeds to stick together when the magnet floats near.

If I can't find a work around I might have to got this route if so how much.

its either open or closed depending on the fluid level. i checked it with a digital fluke meter. you want the complete reservoir setup with cap?
