sensor question
hey, i have a 93 ssei, the sensors on the car that tell me if a light is out or if im low on windshield washer fluid, my dash green car thingy keeps on telling me that my cooland is low even though it never is, is it possible to buy a sensor from someone here and replace it?

What you are looking for is a coolant level sensor, assuming everything else is working correctly. If you unplug the sensor <in the radiator> does it stop showing up on the DIC? Remember, it only checks levels at startup.

Not sure exactly where it is, but it is usually on one of the side tanks on the radiator, near the top. It will be a plug with wires going to it. Any help from the Gearheads would be good at this point, as my car doesnt have one and I cant point to it.

Well, it is on the radiator, just not in the cooling fins that air flow through, it will be on the side portion, not the plastic overflow. Unless you got that much the first time.

It should be on the left side of the radiator. Just below the radiator cap. Can't miss it.

On a similar note, my lamp sensor says I have a brake lamp out, but NO lamps are out at all (not even license bulbs). Where is this sensor at? It'* not a big deal, just an annoyance.
