my coolant beeeeeb thread fix
well like most people ..that coolant buzzard is annoying. It took me all today with a volt meter to figure it out. Well this is what a concluded. There are parts if the wire that go from the harness to the senser that actually go bad. ...example..you jsut replaced the sensor and still beeeeeb. your like ****..I just spent money on a new sensor for what. This is what i did...i tested every live wire under the uim to see what one was live and or dead. There were parts of the sensor wire that where alive and then part of the wire dead. MY solution...replace the whole wire from the wiring harness to the sensor. I did that and it fixed up the whole beeeeeeep noise ...hope this helps

This is not a good idea. If you actually do have low coolant you could very easily cause engine failure. It is much better to have the system functioning.
The wire that goes to the sensor is really only about 18" long inside the emmisions harness. It is basically a loop line, it does not go into the cabin via the emmisions harness (engine harness) at all. The small section of wire is used to get the signal to the driver's side of the engine bay where it connects to the battery harness behind the P/S and A/C. This is done via a single wire black connector. Now if for some reason there is no continuity between the connector at the sensor and the black connector at the battery harness, the alarm will sound. There is absolutely no reason to replace you entire engine harness to solve this problem. Simply take 18" of wire and connect the sensor to the connector behind the PS and A/C.
If the alarm still sounds then there is truely low coolant, there is a faulty sensor, or the is a break in the battery/main harness.
