Anyway to "trick" the coolant sensor? My low coolant sensor needs cleaning/replacing about every 3 months. I'm tired of it.
Is there anyway to trick the sensor? Like, pulling the wires and just conecting them to eachother and bypassing the sensor? Anything so the light goes out.
Yeah, I know that could be unsafe, but as it stands now, the light is on for no reason, so I just keep an eye on the gauge, so I'll continue to do that with the sensor "tricked" anyway.
Is there anyway?
-thanks.

Re: Anyway to "trick" the coolant sensor? There is a plug that plugs into the sensor. You dont have to yank any wires. You dont have to jumper ant wires together either. Just find the plug on the sensor and un-plug it. Job done, bye-bye low coolant light.
