coolant temperature sender
My S500 is showing a low coolant message on the dash display, even after I have topped it off ( which took very little coolant).
My coolant temp. gauge reading has been normal, so I think it is the sender. Is this a DIY easy to do, and where is the sender located?
Thanks

You should also know that sometimes a bad windshield washer fluid level sensor masquerades as a bad coolant level sensor. They are wired together and either can go bad in a way to mimic the other. You might want to replace both.

Thanks, Whoover. My windshield washer level warning comes on too, so I will replace both.
