The coolant level sensors do go bad, might try cleaning
before replacing.

sensors get dirty or "clogged up" and cause the light to stay on... try removing the sensor and cleaning it up and see if that makes your light go away.

Agreed....and at the age of these cars, I don't ever mind replacing something like a sensor or a switch. Just kinda par for the course.

Unplug it if you want the light out....if you don't feel like buying a new one.
