radiator coolant sensor help!!!!!
Hello, my car is a 86 n/a and i was in a accident today which was just on the corner of the front passenger in the car. Ok so the bumper and light housing got all twisted and damaged but what is the main issue, is the coolant sensor that connects to the top of the radiator got tugged and ripped. I know im not leaking any coolant, or any fluids for that matter, thankfully, but i need help locating the wire that comes from the engine harness to reconnect it. Or from where can i reroute a new wire to reconnect to where its suppose to go. OR, does anybody know how to make that stupid buzzer shut up??? Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated thanks.

It is a brownish colored wire.
If you take the wire that comes off the harness and touch it to the Body of the car the Buzzer will stop.
NOW,you will not have any indication of LOW Coolant,so be aware of that.
..and I hope you are OK.

Yea thanks thankfully nobody got hurt. Yea so what i need help if anybody can point me in the right direction is that the sensor that connects to the radiator has about 4-5 inches of wire coming out from the sensor but i need help finding the other end. I went back to the car today and the buzzer stopped so im guessing its being grounded somewhere but i need help locating the wire coming from the harness, to see if i can reattach it and/or ground it properly. thanks for your help.

It runs off the harness around by the AFM .so look there.
It is a Brownish colored wire..SINGLE wire.Look down by the Rad on the passenger side you should be able to see it.
Not hard..goes from the harness to a bullet connector.Bullet connector gets attached to the Wire of the Rad sender.
