    Hello

    I have an 01 3.8L pontiac grand prix gt not supercharged my low coolant light comes on in the morning and stays on for about 10 minutes ive checked the coolant in the radiator and reservoir and both are full, not leaking it either. changed out the thermostat just replaced the upper and lower intake gaskets and it still comes on..Also would like to know how to hook the cruise control back on since the person who fixed my car didn't hook it back up..is there a picture or instructions to hook the end of the cruise control cable back up so I can do it myself

    Thank you
    Sammie

    take the pass side head light out, then on the side of the rad is the low coolant sensor, its either bad, or dirty. theres a clip on it, then you just pull it out. a o ring seals it. clean it or replace it. or unplug it and the light will never come on again.

    its kinda hard to describe how the cc cable linkage gets clipped on. take a good hard look at the throttle cable make it look the same. puling the throttle to full open helps get it clipped on, then route the cable in the groove.
