Low coolent buzzer
My add coolent light is comming on like 4 seconds after I start the car and the buzzer is going off. Is this sensor the wire above the radiator? Cause I know its full. And if I i play wiht the wire it will stop, then come back on moments later.

The Add Coolent light/alarm is not called the "Buzzer of Doom" for nothing.

If you want a temp fix if your sensor is bad/or some other reason you can just ground it. But check your connections and wires first, it's quite a tiny little wire and looks like it could break easily.

Woops. Didn't read your entire post befor I posted. Sounds like a bad connection. That sensor grounds when water hits it. Test it by pulling it out, and grounding it against something metal, and see if it goes off.
