first of all, I did a search and found THIS POST that seems to be about what I am dealing with.
I have the low coolant message, but the level is fine, no leaks, no air in the system, temp running normal, not losing coolant in any way (ruled out the basics).
According to that thread, the sensor is notorious for going bad. I think it is my sensor. Is there a way to bypass the sensor into fooling the system into thinking the coolant is fine (I have the same problem on my Cutlass Supreme, and just unplugging the sensor disabled the light). Is there something similar I can do until I get it fixed?
Don't worry, even if I do find a bypass to fool the system, I still check my fluids regularly. Been there done that >.<
Also, where could I get another sensor, or resevoir? I don't really trust the ebay ones since they don't mention if the sensor is good, just that the resevoir is good. Also, the parts websites don't list the level sensor. Anyone have a part number? I can epoxy one in no problem.
