OK, so I'm putting in my new radiator and transferring the sensors over, and I cant get the Coolant Level Sensor off the top of my old radiator. (it's just spinning)So, my dad tries to get it off and wouldn't you know it the mother F#$%er broke off......(will fixing anything on this car ever just go easy for me!?) a few choice words later(you know what I mean) I head back inside to look for a new one at the only 2 local auto parts stores I know of (autozone and kragen) autozone has one (http://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...questid=387097 ) how ever it says spacial order...so what ever I go to have it shipped to my house...and yet another disaster hits.. I get this message "Sorry, at least one of the special order items in your cart is no longer available. The item is highlighted below. Please remove the item or adjust the quantity before proceeding to checkout." i don't think it is possible to make my quantity any lower than 1. Kragen dosnt have anything listed, and a quick google search didnt show me anything.....so, if someone knows a place that has them could you point me in that direction?

 

Check the for sale areas, or regional for sales on this message board. Any junk yards nearby? I doubt anyone ever goes and pulls these from the car (unless they take the radiator).

 

I just bought one from Napa online for $19 about a month ago. http://www.napaonline.com/MasterPage...t+Level+Sensor

You'll also need a replacement o-ring or rubber gasket to seal underneath it. If you can get the old one out, reuse it.

 

thanks, I believe my new radiator has a new one on it. will buy it tomorrow(online if my local store doesn't have it)...stores already closed, lol

 

Local Napa stores almost never have anything in stock for our cars, and the online inventory is much larger anyway. They're all privately owned franchises, so it doesn't work like Kragen & Autozone w/ their websites. Prices don't match up, and inventories are different.

 

Mazdatrix usually has them. Kind of pricey though.

 

I bought mine from mazda... Something like $24 I think?

A coolant level sensor is so cheap new, its pointless to go used. Plus, what if you buy a faulty sensor?

 

I ordered it from NAPA with 2 new radiator caps. new radiator is like the s5 with the cap on the radiator it self. and my other one was a cheap one I just don't trust.
