Need help fast!

ok so i took off my BAC tonight and i connected the two coolant hoses connected to it and the first time i did it it wasn't tight enought and they ended up seperating and blowing coolant everywhere. so i re connected them alot better and now those are fine but eventhough i put more coolant in and let it bubble as much as i could, the low coolant buzzer just won't go off. i drove the car for about 30 mins and the engine didn't get any warmer than usual, what cna i do to get this damn thing to shut off? thanks

check your water level sensor. I think that is what it is called. You might have disconnected it.

so i finished checking everything and put the heat on full blast and kept filling the coolant up as it got low and the buzzer finally went off. i took her for a spin and it stayed off for a while and then that hose broke. i just can't win tonight

how did the hose break? what are you using to put it on the BAC? DOes your cullant light come on or just the buzzer.


A similar thing happpened to me and I thought it was the coolant buzzer but it was the oil buzzer and the oil level sensor was not connected so I cleaned off the crap that was on it and re connected it and never again did I hear the buzzer. did you check to see if your sensor is coneected properly?

well since the BAC is off i just used a littler bigger hose to connect the two ends and used some sealant but that didn't hold, could be i just didn't let it dry enough, so i said **** it and took off the metal pipe they were connected through the bac with and reconnected that. my add coolant light is on and the buzzer is going off. i'm hoping that when i add more coolant this time it'll be fine.
