Auto Parts: Coolant level sensor for 95 Cavalier, coolant level, plastic tank


Question
Hello,
I just bought a new coolant level sensor for my 95 Chevy Cavalier, can you tell me where on the car this is so I can replace it?

Thanks!

Answer
    It's in the coolant reservoir (the white plastic tank where the coolant is stored).  It only activates when the tank is almost empty, so they put it down in the bottom (in the side near the bottom).  You will probably have to remove the tank from the car to replace the sensor.  Just make sure the car is cooled off and that there is no pressure in the tank when you start to work.  There are a couple of screws holding it in and the hose and that's it.  It might take a little time, and you might have to move something else to get the tank out far enough to get at the sensor, but it's a pretty easy job.
