I have coolant, the sensor appears to be connected. Any way to disable it?

did your overflow tank run empty, and you added coolant recently? if so, try opening your radiator cap and seeing if it makes bubbles in the overflow tank, some times I have seen air get into the rad, and you have to like, depressurize it to get more fluid in, and make the buzzer stop.

Yeah I did add some coolant but only because the buzzer came on ... the tank was a little less than 1/4 full. I tried your trick but it was a no go.

have you opend up the bleeder valve its a nut thing on the side of the engine (i think) you might need to squeeze all the air out of the system

If you want to disable the buzzer, you have to ground the wire that is going to the sensor.



If its on the TII, I don't remember it going through water. Weird.

Check the hose going from the rear of the engine on the drivers side to the fire wall. It wears out kinda quick near the clamp on the engine.

found out why that hose goes bad, every one knows that it is because oil drips on it from some where, I finally figured out where, the oil filter has the wrong adapter on it, it is like a $5 part at a rotary shop, some day I will even get one, umm, maybe.

Mostly its from people spilling oil from the filter when doing an oil change.
