Could I ask a favor?

If someone would be so kind as to hook me up with a coolant level sensor (the one that sits atop the radiator with a single wire exiting it) it would really save me the big hassle of going out to the junkyard. The wire on mine broke off and the one in my spare radiator won't come out (the sensor turns freely, but I can't pry it out). I'd rather just fix this one for now, but I made a mess of it when I tried to resolder the wire back on this latest time that is broke off, so I think it might be best to just get another that has the wire intact. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I've resoldered mine twice... 2 years since the last time and no annoying coolant alarm yet

*edit* Doh! Just realised I misread what you were talking about. Disregard this post.

If you're in the Metroplex, you can pick it off the carcass in my driveway for free...

When mine broke I just stripped some of the insulation off and crimped the wire under the nut on the battery ground terminal. That solved the light problem

Haha, mine's like that right now!

I'm about four hours away from you, if you could mail it to me I'd very much appreciate it.
