    Coolant Level Sensor ‘Plug’

    Mine is degrading, and I think it’s the source of my random OBC ‘Coolant’ warning lights.

    I took out the sensor and cleaned it off last night with some water and a brush. After reinstalling the sensor, I used a couple tiny dabs of Gorilla Glue on the outside mating surfaces of the plug sensor connection ([[==), but not the interior of the plug of course.

    No lights this morning on the drive into work, but I'd like something a bit more OEM.

    I’ve been searching on the parts sites and haven't found anything.

    Is the plug itself available for new purchase? I’m looking for the plug that attaches to #12



    TIA

          Called Pelican to see if they could find something. Working with Michael there to see if they can dig something up. Worst case I can buy the entire lead and splice in the new plug I guess.

          Its actually holding now with the Gorilla glue, but no telling how long that'll last.

            I just bought the whole piece from the dealer, it wasn't that expensive. And it hooked right up.

              Do you still have the invoice? Have a P/N?
