Hey y’all! I need some help replacing my coolant reservoir with a nice aluminum one to match my radiator. I found one that fits, but the problem is that the sensor doesn’t come with it, and I won’t have the clearance for it. I check my fluids weekly, and the new tank has a sight glass. How can I bypass the sensor while keeping the aesthetics? I tried just leaving it unplugged, but I get a ‘low coolant alarm.’ Is my only option to take it to a shop and have the codes removed?
It’s just a simple on/off switch that reads low when open and normal when closed. You could cut the connector off and splice the wires together with a butt connector. Best to use a heat shrink connector to prevent corrosion and leave a few inches of wire attached to the connector in case you ever want to reattach it.
