Coolant Level Sensor removal How do you remove the Coolant Level Sensor? I want to clean it before giving up on it due to a low coolant level warning. If that doesn't work I'll just leave it unplugged.

But to get it off you have to remove the metal wire clip that holds it on. Its very easy once you can get to the sensor.
Go here and look up "coolant level sensor". You will see a great picture that will show you the clip and they have good prices if you need one.

im not sure how the sensor works but im assuming when the coolant level falls below the sensor theres very high resistance (due to the open circuit) so it triggers the light. if you unplug the connector that creates high an open circuit as well and will still trigger the light.

yea it will be off if the sensor is unplugged. but i ended up changing mine to a new GM one, i think its dumb to leave small things like that out IMO, you will never know when you will really need it some day
