my add coolent light came on so i added more coolent in. it is now at the full level (one for engine hot) when the engine is cold. should i worry about the light being on or should i just leave it alone?

The sensor went bad... this happened on my 99 Formula... just pull out the light bulb lol



or replace the sensor on the radiator end tank next to your battery. its held in with a clip and O-ring to seal it. If youre fast enough you wont lose too much coolant

how much should the sensor cost?

I think it cost me about $30. I got it thru my cousin who works at a stealership so I might have got a slight discount... He told me they go bad all the time and that alot of GM cars have the same part number for that sensor.

I just unplugged the sensor its on the driver side of radiator i believe, just make sure to check it every now and then.

If you think that you might forget to check the coolant level on your own, I would just get a new sensor and not just leave it unplugged. Better to be safe than sorry.

my light came on once when i had full coolent and then it shut off on its own, i guess the sensor gets all clogged and messed up from the dex cool crap, im runnin the green on mine now tho

wow thats weird, well mine came on when i just started the car, then i turned the car off and checked the coolent, it looked good so i started the car and drove off, after about 2 hours the light went away by itsself! it could be the sensor has residue over it or is dirty, u can try cleaning it first
