and they are calling for the low coolant sensor, thats in the side of the radiator. you can take that one out, clean it, then put it back, see if that fixes it.

the other one is the temp sender under the t stat housing in the lim. that burbman is talking about.

and do your own back brakes too. lol 255 for rear brakes, more thievery.

Thanks. This is why I want to learn to fix my own car! I will see if I can find the senor and order a new one. Is it plug and play? The $225 is with new rotors too. Where can I learn to do my own back brakes?

Just today the light started to turn off again. Is the sensor in a area where I can reach and just unplug and plug back in or do I have to take stuff apart??

Damn Thanks for the part # though!
