Thank you, your video shows and F body 98 or newer. For a 93 to 97 loosen up the power steering fill container, remove battery terminals, battery holder, pull battery out, then remove bolt at bottom that holds the coolant reservoir, disconnect the reservoir hose from radiator, move power steering reservoir, battery cables aside and pull the coolant reservoir out. Disconnect harness from coolant sensor, don't just pull on the sensor, use a flat head screw driver to push up the clip that holds the sensor to the radiator. Have your new sensor ready nearby! Then pull old sensor out slowly, antifreeze will come out. Immediately put the new sensor and push it in until you hear the clips click. Put everything back in reverso order. Before turning on car, open radiator cap and fill with DexCool fluid what you lost during the sensor swap. Close radiator cap and then start the car. Low coolant light should be gone.

Thanks for the video, my low coolant light has been on for a couple years in my 97 SS, coolant level has been fine so I've just been ignoring it, just got home and it was pissing antifreeze, pulled the battery to see where it's coming from and the clip popped off and the sensor came out
Help me out. So my 1995 firebird was quite overheating, no spill from the thermostat nor water pump or the radiator. My dashboard always says low coolant but it has some. Just yesterday it was leaking antifreeze. What could it possibly be? It was coming from the reservoir area with the hose attached to it. yesterday i filled it and it’s been parked all day and I see no leaks.
You don't need to remove the tray on a 99 TA. Took 5 minutes. Have the new sensor close by if your coolant level is above the sensor. It will pour out very quickly. Old pone out, new one in ASAP
Awesome video to the point appreciate ya man lol. My 98 z28 light fades on n off once it awhile but today was the first time it's stayed solid red and not gone off, has plenty of fluid but was mothballed for 5 yrs in the garage. Wonder if that sensors just goofy.. Rather that than the old radiator lol.
Dude, thanks for the video!! However, I was able to get the sensor on "Amazon .com" for only $9!! AutoZone wanted $61 for this damn thing! Mine was for a 1997 Chevy Lumina.😁. It fits like a glove!!
If the sensor goes bad, will it prevent the engine from turning over? Is there another temperature sensor on the engine itself, that would prevent the engine from starting if it goes bad that you know of?
Wondering the same thing regarding my lt1 Z, 96. Cranks but no start. Pull started it once and it ran great but it wont run otherwise. Mine's missing the sensor all together.
Well, my mechanic buddy says it won't run without the crankshaft sensor, because it determines the engine firing order. Basically, it takes the place of the old distributor. The sensor works on a magnetically generated field, in conjunction with the car's ECM/ ECU to direct the electrical current to the correct contact on the coil packs to give the spark plugs the correct amount of charge to initiate fire each revolution the crankshaft makes. With the 3800 series II engines using enclosed throttle body style systems, this is why it it imperative to have all the correct sensors doing their jobs in exact order to ensure top performance everytime your car starts. If any one of the engine sensors fails to do their assigned duty, the motor ultimately can suffer serious damaging side effects. And that can spell headaches for a guy like me who bought the car 15-16 yrs and two- or more owner's later down the road, and there's no real preventative measure or way of knowing if everything still functions like it should or not. For example, my 2000 Camaro : the previous owner had, at some point replaced the fuel pump but the float arm was loose, causing the gas gage to not register, in turn causing me to run completely out of gas on four separate occasions. But this last incident, it also had run dry of coolant, which I was given no warning by the temperature gage, so now it's sitting with one or two possible reasons for not running

Thank you for the detailed information in removing the clips off to remove the sensor.
Great help brother. I've looked on so many videos to find this sensor and you explained it clear.

Same here
Damn man I been looking for a video like this. Thanks so much.
You explained it very well, thank you. And please let me know when/if you have extra money again! 😂😂

I missed this part and just made a mess on my garage floor.
Damn bro I changed mine today in 5 minutes without removing all that

You're the man!
Thanks for the video, very helpful!
Thanks 👍😎 Good Video 😎

I'm getting one on Amazon today also for a 2001 lumina what was the shipping and handling price

so you can just leave the bad sensor where it is.
and unplug the cable?
then the warning light will disappear?
I believe so. I am going to try that on my 1997 T/A WS6
I have a 93 firebird can't find that part form93 will 94 fit? 5.7 lt1?
Do you guys know if this sensor stop working the fans don't kick on? (Overheating)
How do you remove the metal line that comes through the tray? Or is it all just 1 piece? Im having a leak coming from mine
grimmjow714 I thought it was one piece.
THEREALPUNISHER gay, i need to find time to pull mine out again
can the coolant level sensor cause the car to not want to accelerate? thank u for this video real shit
it does effect performance. but not sure how much.
Does this sensor causes your car to overheat?
No it just causes a light to come on in dash
@@duncanconnors1037 what light? Is like a red square with a arrow down inside the square..
Thanks
Anyone have the acdelco part number for this sensor.
These things never worked properly most people just unplug them.
Does the sensor have 2 or 3 terminals?
midnitez28 looks like one connection with 2 wires
Thanks
Is this for a 2001 gmc sierra
PUMA R no it’s to 98-02 fbody camaro it trans am
