Coolant Level Warning

Hi all, after successfully fixing the ongoing issues with my light warnings(thanks to Shogun) I have been driving happily with no 'BING's" until I replaced the radiator along with a new Coolant Level Sensor. I keep on getting incorrect low level warnings. After the first time I reset by earthing the plug but the warnings keep coming. Level is fine.

Suggestions??

Cheers

The floats dislodge on the sensor I think. I just wired the float on to the sensor on mine solved the check control bell .You be the sensor and check your level evey time you drive.

Check your wires very carefully. Here is what I found in my coolant system overhaul:



Hope this helps.

It is probably wiring since he ruled out the sensor.
