3" from the top (or 1.5" from the bottom). It is sort of a straight electode with a single spade connector that pushes into a sealing grommet. Must work by measuring continuity through the coolant.

I considered a few things: 1) That sensor has NEVER come on. 2) It's several inches below the top of the radiator, so if it DID come on, I think it'd be too late. 3) I heard from this list once that in later cars the sensor was relocated to the header tank. 4) If I understand the way the system works, the header tank would have to be basically empty before the level in the radiator would start to drop. So, I told the guy to take the sensor out and plug the hole. If I reinstall it, it'll probably be in the header tank. That's where you guys come in; can someone tell me in some detail exactly WHERE this sensor should go in the header tank? I suspect the important thing is how far off the bottom. The other thing I'd like to know is whether I should reinstall the SAME sensor in the header tank, or whether a DIFFERENT sensor is called for. -- Kirbert | If anything is to be accomplished, | some rules must be broken. | - Palm's Postulate
