    Has anybody tried to add a resistor to short it out and eliminate this sensor all together? Tried searching online and cant seem to find any other sources that even mention this idea except here. Growing tired of replacing jugs and sensors just for the magnets to fail prematurely (months) of normal Highway use. Pain in the ### this is.

    I have a 2019 T680 with the same problem. I hacked a solution to the problem with a magnet and 2022 version of baling wire. All alarm lights and sounds are off and truck runs fine. Just do your precheck and eyeball the antifreeze reservoir, keep an eye on your engine temperature gauge and use your nose to sniff out any antifreeze odor. You don't need no stinking low coolant sensor. Pics are attached.

    Low coolant sensor will save your ### when you are running down interstate, fully loaded, and you loose your coolant (hose,clamp,radiator etc.)
