Default Low Coolant Light


My low coolant light has been flashing all day since I picked the car up this morning but its full of water and antifreese. I had to replace my coolant temp sensor today because the guy who rebuilt my engine screwed up mine when he was putting it back on, is there one for the coolant level? Where is it and what is it called?

Anyone know for sure where it is? What about this other sensor that screws into the head next to the temp sensor, the prongs on it are bent I think, what is it?

Look for coolant on the floor, check your radiator if there is a hole or crack somewhere, i think the light pops on if there is not 15 pounds of pressure in the coolant system. I had that happen to me, but i didnt have warning my radiator just went

I have heard people say to take the coolant reservoir tank out entirely, and empty it out, and clean it thoroughly. Like, put alcohol or something in it and shake it around really good. The sensor gets mucked up and reads wrong. My 95 did that like crazy.
