coolant level sensor wiring location

i was wonderin how to stop the beeping in the cabin so i cut the coolant level wiring and spliced it with another wire leading directly to a ground. didnt work. there must be something disconected further than whats next the the airpump/alternator. can someone tell me where the next connection is so i can see where to look. thanks.

Behind the a/c compressor there is 2 single wire connections, 1 is the a/c compressor, the other is the low coolant light.

for a little more clarification. It is a single black wire that often comes unplugged when changing spark plugs. I have helped 2 FD owners with this in the last month and both of them were in that location.

after spending an hour to look around in that tiny cramped space, i cant see the other wire. all i see is the one for the ac. =[ should i remove the compressor and see if the other wire got caught inside when i installed the compressor?

this is getting anoying.

there is an other connector exactly like the one of the AC except that instead of being white, it's black. It's somewhere behind the PS and the AC, look carefully. It is a single wire connector.

Nope, that are referring the coolant level sender which is in the front of the t-stat housing.
