Coolant buzzer on all the time? (help please!)

[fdracer]

Ok....
 
I finally got the engine back together, in the car... all connected up and it started!!
 
Only thing is that the coolant buzzer and light seems to be on all the time?? We filled it up with a load of coolant. Then more, then more, then more. Must be near 7 litres or so.
 
It seems to be full and not taking anymore. The only thing is that the coolant buzzer/light seems to be on all the time.
 
I\'ve not taken it for a drive at the moment until I sort this problem out.
 
Does anyone have any suggestions?? I was thinking possible a dodgey sensor/plug/wire, or something not plugged in properly? Something that\'s hopefully an easy fix.
 
I\'m gonna check the level again in the morning. But it was full and wouldn\'t take anymore.
 
 
Any help appreciated!

Ah...  that helped anyway mate. I know for defo the oil pressure sensor isn\'t plugged in properly now. The one that comes from the starter motor area should plug there.

So, I\'ll start with sorting that out and taking it from there.

Yeah, cheers mate. Will have a play after work and see what I can figure out.

Is the coolant sensor on the front of the filler neck where a little wire comes out? (not at the car at the moment).

That\'s the one.  Single wire to the sensor.  If the coolant is all the way to the top of the neck then the sensor is submerged and the warning shouldn\'t be going off - probably a loose connection or broken wire.

A couple of the wires are connected to the wrong things me think. Will sort it out this evening.

Sorted chaps... cheers for the help guys.
