ok here i go. im a newbie! just joined not long ago. My girl has a 98 escort se and its pretty cool a nice ride. anyway, to get to the point, here is the problem.
first, the check coolant orange light on her dash came up about a week ago. normally thats just the low coolant light that trips from the low coolant sensor right? anyways, i ended up checking the coolant when it was cold int he radiator and in the reservoir. both were fine and had plenty of coolant. so i thought it might just be the sensor. the car doesnt overheat, act funny, or anything like that seems liek its fine. just the light comes on. my questions are what causes this light to come on and how hard is it to fix. im thinking its the low coolant sensor but where is this located at? int he radiator? coolant reservoir? how hard is it to replace? how much is it? i know ford has it but what about autozone, advanced, pep boys, napa? i hope its not major just osmething minor. thanks
