you don't have one

take cap off. start car. crank heate full blast at hot

wait 15-20 mins till it's warm. level will go down. fill as needed.

ok.... there is this horriable beeping... and im told its a sensor that is letting me know there is air in my radiator... i unpluged the sensor.. and it made the beep go forever..... also ive had a bunch of people tell me i have to open the bleeder, then fill....


i dont care how it happens.. i want that beeping gone.... im on the verge of ripping the dash apart and taking the speaker or whatever it is out.....

Either you have an air bubble in your system, you have a coolant leak, or your sensor is not working right.

Do what Scott said to fix the air bubble, if you have one.

Check for leaks if you have those. Most of the time it happens on the heater hose onthe drivers side going from the engine to the heater core.

only the 86-88 have the bleeder. the 89-91 don't

do what I said above. and plug the sensor back in.

if you want it to go away now. cut the sensor wire and ground the harness wire. but that is the wrong way. and will cause future damage.

Agreed... if that godawful buzzer is going off, there is a good reason. Killing the buzzer doesn't fix the coolant problem.
