I thought that, it's just a float inside the coolant reservior? Am I wrong in this assumption? If it is just a float, then the only reading that should be seen, would be an open contact (no continuity,when float level is low), and a closed contact (continuity, when float level is normal). I just removed my connector, put a jumper wire across the connector terminals, started the engine and let it run for awhile, no light. Pull the jumper wire out, and the dash light starts flashing.
Am I wrong about thinking that this is nothing more than a float inside the reservior? Or is there a resistive sensor in there?
