Guess That Wire!!

What wire are these?




and



Im pretty sure the first one is for the thermometer, and the i dont know what hte second one is for. I have a 91 NA and it tends to over heat quite easily. If i get on it a couple times the gauge rises.

The add coolant light is on in the idot cluster but ive filled that thing like 10 times already.

I also checked looked at the radiator with the cap off but didnt see any bubbles, but i didnt pull the egi fuse i just looked after it was already cranked and idling.

wow, what happend to that car. see that bolt next to the radiator cap? Thats not normal. when youturn the key don't you hear the buzzard going off? it looks like someone put the coolant level sensor on the air bleeder valve and just a bolt on the coolant level sensor spot.

In my neighborhood, we would use the unpolitically correct term and say "...that car has done been nig-rigged!"

What do you guys call that kind of work in your neighborhood???

thanks guys, the buzzer doesnt go off, but the add coolent light is on. I didnt do this i believe in doing things the right way, but i bought this car liek a sucker. I own a s4 and i guess a s5 for 900 just seemed good.

How can i fix this? do i have to get a new radiator?

If the buzzer isn't giong off, it might be disabled. Does it go off when you redline?

Just get a new coolant level sensor and pop it in there.

i only took the car to redline once, and i cant remember if it went off. So i just pop that bolt out and put a coolant sensor there?

Where do i get a coolant sensor? Mazdatrix? or the local dealer. I have an oppointment with the dealer on monday to fix my seat belts so most likely ill just get it there. Thanks for the help

Just get it at the Mazda dealership.

To test the buzzer, go start your car, put it in neutral, redline it. Does the buzzer go off?

From the pics, i think you mite want to consider changing out your radiator because the plastic lining on top is cracking. Also They put the coolant level sensor at the wrong place.
