    That Lumina is in great shape! Lots of fresh looking paint in that engine bay. Looks well taken care of.

    Dude, thank you so much for sharing that video! I have a 1997 Chevy Lumina that was my mom's car and the coolant level light just kept coming on and flashing. I thought it was because the coolant was bad, so, I flushed the radiator and added new coolant, but the light kept flashing. I ended up changing the coolant sensor just like you showed in your video and it worked! Thanks again man !!I really appreciate it and will subscribe to you right now!!

    My brother! Love the clean engine bay at 234k in that Chevrolet! I got the 1999 Buick century and I’m working on having mine as clean as this one! Also about to do this low coolant sensor as well. My OCD is very bothered by this light.

    Thanks bro. Great video. I will be doing this tomorrow on a 99 Montana. By the way, your engine is incredibly clean for a 99 with 243k miles! Well done!

    On my 98 lumina I had to tighten them down tight or else it will leak a little lol but I have to change my sensor out. I just changed out my thermostat, water pump, fuel pump, egr, fuel injectors, PCM, tires, breaks, calipers and more. Mine has 115,015.2 miles but has some rust due to sitting for 2 years not running. But wow does it drive nice, only had one owner that used it to drive back and forth to work and that was all they used it for.

    Mine keeps getting air in it like you said. But the sensor works. Is there anyway to get the air out so the light goes off?

    Great video! Would the faulty sensor cause the radiator fans not to trip? My fans only kick on when the AC is on. So, my car overheats after running running for 10-15 mins. Will replacing the sensor fix that?

      Sounds like the head gasket issue these cars are notorious for!!!!!! Do NOT USE DEXCOOL COOLANT!!!!!!!! It eats away these head gaskets because of the acid!!!!!!!!

    Good video.
    I'm doing the same job right now and can't push the new one all the way in.
    It appears that the O-rings are preventing it from going in all the way flush.
    I've tried everything.
    Already mangled one O-ring.
    What's the solution to this one?
    Anyone?

      @@metanoiacollusion2048 - I just kept working it. In hindsight I wouldn't have wasted my time changing it.
      Just unplug it.
      It's a useless sensor.
      Light is still on.
      I believe that the problem is in the dash cluster.
      Probably a bad solder connection.

    On my 2000 Buick century The engine gets extremely hot to the touch almost scalding, but the temp gauge needle stays at the middle or right under the middle. The issue I’m having is that the low coolant sign is on but the radiator reservoir is full. Anyone have any idea what could cause the light to turn on. It happens after driving for 1 hr.
