need pics of coolant level sensor

am about to install a koyo radiator. when i bought the car a few months ago i found out that the coolant level sensor was unplugged. i have look all over the engine bay looking for a place to plug it back into. when i install the new radiator i want to know where the coolant level sensor plugs into. does anyone have any pictures of wiring diagrams that could help me out? thanks

Good try but no cigar. Thats for an 3rd gen. What year is your car? Are you sure the level sensor is unplugged? If it is, you would get that annoying low coolant buzzer each time you turn the key to the on position. The wire for the sensor comes from the wiring harness underneath the air flow meter. I think its a thin brown wire.

My old 88Turbo had a sensor on the radiator, just below the battery. If that is the sensor that you are talking about, the koyo radiator does not use that sensor.

btw-This is the Level sensor

The 88T2 (at least mine did) had two sensors, one of them is the coolant level sensor (the one on the pic). The other sensor was just below the battery (on the side of the radiator panel), this sensor that I am talking about, looked like a 21mm nut, with two cables attach to it.

The koyo radiator will use the one on the pic above
