Coolant level sensor

June 17, 2018, 02:30:15 pm

Need to find a coolant level sensor for my new radiator, when I took the wire off to remove it the stud broke. I have looked on line but I don't know the if what I found would work. I going to call FOT tomorrow and see if they would have one or maybe a part #. Any ideas out there?
Or if someone has replaced there's. Thanks Andy

You will need the plug and splice it into your harness with solder and heatshrink if you don't have the plug. This is a detroit part number . 23520380 Freightliner,should have it. Truck Pro,Fleetpride, Peterbilt etc. should be able to cross with that number. They can also look up the 2 wire plug for it.

On page 5 Below is a drawing showing 1 wire to ground other to sensor. Other part numbers for the sensor in either 1/4 npt or 3/8 npt are on drawing as well as the part number for the plug. Keep in mind the dealerships sell the plugs per piece so you will need the plug as well as the  wire connector ends that go into it. Ask if they have a premade pigtail. O'Reilly or a a Auto parts store might have them also already assembled. Pretty standard watertight connector. Either probe part number should work fine and there are probably others as well all you need is your thread size I think it is 1/4npt.
