since it wouldn't let me put it in, it is a 2003 stratus, 2.4 liter. radiator got a hole in it , did not overheat , no codes showing , but it wont start now!
The 2001 Villager washer fluid level sensor is inside of the washer fluid reservoir. The sensor can be access through the bottom of the washer fluid reservoir.
The "Low Coolant Sensor" on a 1997 Pontiac Montana is located appro 6" below the radiator cap which is on the left as your facing the engine. The sensor measures the fluid level in the radiator itself and is prone to giving false alarms when it gets dirty.
Take it to the nearest mechanic and fork out about $200... Or for a real answer...the sensor is on the passnger side of the radiator below the radiator cap. It is black and square and has a single plug at the bottom. It is held onto the radiator by a metal retaining clip. Remove the clip and the sensor pulls out of the radiator. Disconnect the wire by pulling carefully on the plastic lock and pull on the plug. Fluid will leak out to level of sensor. Drain or place catch basin below sensor plug to catch radiator fluid. Sensor can be purchased through a dealer for around $70 US, or Aut*Z*ne for under $40 US. Your choice.
It is in the passenger side coolant tank on the radiator. If the light is on and the coolant is at the proper level then the sensor is defective. To replace it you will have to drain the radiator. Disconnect the wire and remove the clip and remove the sensor.
looks like a sensor or thermostat going into engine block
It is the radiator warning light. Usually it indicates low radiator fluid level. I have had this come on when I have had some minor radiator leaks leading to radiator coolant level going down.
If you mean does the transmission fluid level rise, the usual problem is a leak in the trans cooler built in to the radiator. Depending on engine temperature fluid will transfer back and forth between the radiator fluid and the auto trans fluid changing the level and color of both.
To check the radiator fluid level in an Arctic Cat 400, first ensure the engine is cool to avoid burns. Locate the radiator cap, which is usually at the front of the engine compartment, and carefully remove it. Check the fluid level against the markings on the reservoir or radiator, adding the appropriate coolant if necessary. Always replace the cap securely after checking.
Maybe it's not the radiator. Maybe it is one of the radiator hoses that is leaking. Or possibly the radiator cap or a level sensor.
depends on the container and what type of fluid is being measured
If you mean the low coolant sensor, it is located on the radiator about 3-4 inches below the cap, it screws into the back side of the radiator. There is also a low washer fluid sensor located in the top of the winshield washer reservior.
Sounds like you have radiator trouble. Have you checked the fluid level in the radiator?
