    The low coolant sensor isn't replacable in the tank. You have to replace the tank.

    Will the paper clip bypass work on the coolant sensor?
    Unplug the sensor use a paper clip to make contact with both sides to fool it into thinking its good.

    Darn, your to far away for us to help. The only other thought I have is unplug the sensor and connect the 2 sides with a paperclip or small piece of wire to complete the circuit to get it to a shop. Good Luck

    This worked for me last year, and the sensor was easy to replace on my freightliner

    CC Maybe the paperclip fell out and he forgot he put in in there several months ago?? I am only guessing? I bet the "Chromed Out" interior is beautiful! How far will it get you home though is my question?

    unplug the sensor, if necessary use a piece of wire or paper clip in the plug to fool the computer.

    Oops someone posted that on page 2. :)
