Its by your left foot on the drivers side. There are a bunch of wires going into a rectangular box. You will see a little round hole in the middle. The buzzer is in there. If you figure out a way to turn it off/ disconnect it easily PLEASE let me know....

Do as i did, just ground the wire going to the sensor under the water filler cap, it worked for me.

Not if there is a break in the line somewhere else.

Yeah I replaced the sensor and the WHOLE motor wiring harness, and it still goes off constantly. Never stops. I don't know what the hell the problem is, so Id rather just disconnect the freakin buzzer and check my coolant every couple days. I'm about 2 seconds away from takeing that box apart to rip the damn speaker out.

Just in case you guys didn't realize it, there are 2 sensors that will activate the buzzer.

Um, yeah, where's the second sensor?

I was looking through the wiring diagram. I notice the coolant level sensor runs to the instrument panel CPU first, via a brown with white wire. Then another wire comes out of the instrument cluster cpu and runs to the cpu No. 2, which is located down in the driver's footwell. The input into the cpu No. 2 is in the big 20 pin connector. It is the brown wire in the middle of the solid bank of wires for that connector, right next to the blocked out pin sections. For those looking at the diagram, it's input 1L from the instrument cluster. Try grounding that brown wire at the cpu No. 2 connector and see if the buzzer shuts the hell up!

Hope any of that helps...

Well today I finnaly got around to trying your idea spurvo. I cut the solid brown wire going into CPU #2 in the footwell, and the buzzer shut off. When I grounded it out, it came back on. So I just taped it off and called it a day. Thanks for the advice. I am GREATLY looking forward to my first quiet drive home with the radio off.
