I have a 1995 Ford Escort LX Sport that runs great (though I keep having to replace the exhaust system), but needs to have the the coolant level sensor replaced. Anyone know how easy it is to replace this myself? I am not a beginner when it comes to car repair (have done my own brakes, oil changes, belts, alternators, starters, selenoids, tune-ups, etc), but have never touched any sensors before, I would like to know what I am getting into before I decide to track down the elusive part and skip the ASE Certified mechanic. Thanks!!
Also, would like to know how essentail this part is. I have a trip planned soon and if I can get away with not replacing it until I get back, I will.Regarding Ford Escort%26039;s coolant level sensor replacement...?
For the sake of 10 pound replace it, it is easy to do and will
take about 10 minute's, without it you will not know the
running condition of your car I,E temperature, and the normal
things that can go wrong when you temperature hits the Red...Regarding Ford Escort%26039;s coolant level sensor replacement...?
If I remember right the coolant level sensor is part of the reservoir. Very simple to replace. May need whole assembly.Regarding Ford Escort%26039;s coolant level sensor replacement...?
It is not going to hurt to drive the car without replacing the sensor. They are easy to change, just screw out the old one, put thread tape on the threads of the new one and screw it in.Regarding Ford Escort%26039;s coolant level sensor replacement...?
this is no big deal. you can get away with not changing it by unplugging it and jumping the terminals with a paper clip. it wont damage anything, your light will go off, and you wont have to worry about replacing it. just make sure the reservoir is always full.Regarding Ford Escort%26039;s coolant level sensor replacement...?
It sounds like the FORD is fried
dont bother to fix itRegarding Ford Escort%26039;s coolant level sensor replacement...?
the coolant level sensor is part of the cap for the coolant reservoir. very basic, disconnect the electrical connector on top of the reservoir cap, pop the cap up and pull the whole thing out of the reservoir, pop the new one in, plug it in and verify you have ample coolant in the reservoir and the light is out.
