Warning light wont shut up

ok yes there's a reason for it, i know my radiator is leaking water/coolant into my engine (bad water seal(s) and i am going to get a new engine and stuff soon but my "low coolant" light just stays on all the dam time and the sound is so annoying and loud. Just wondering how do i disconnect/ turn it off? Haynes manual says that the little wire going into the radiator at the top is where the warning light is connected to the level sensor........i unplugged that and the warning light was still on so that sucked a lot. So now i have to drive to and from school/work/wherever with a god dam noisy *** coolant light on so it would be great to turn it off.

TY

Disconnect the wire going to the Radiator. Ground the wire NOT attached to the radiator to the frame. Drive the car. Over heat.. Get new motor.. Rinse, repeat.....

Ground that wire at your own risk, to stop the buzzing

The other thing you can do is when filling it run the RPM up to about 3000 to 3500 and it will suck in a bit more fluid. That will help make it take a little longer before it annoys the **** out of you
