Another Flashing Coolant Light

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

one would think that a sensor only purpose is to close a 2 wire system when
the value it produces is true (container full), and since a open situation
(you have nothing attached to the dongle, simply by crimping both wires
leading the sensor (cut dongle, join both wires together, should in theory
create a close loop therefore a true value of current is being sent to the
dash electronics (diodes) and therefore the blinking light should go away
permanently.

their might be a flaw in my thinking, (does the sensor add voltage to the
current running to the dash or perhaps cuts the voltage to turn the light
out.
but I think in ours cars this would not apply (seen it in Chrysler cars
before why I mention it)

cut the wires, leave yourself enough wire running to the dongle in case it
does not work and splice the two wires together, should work!

=>I have the 16v harness but only the older MK1 rad w/o overflow.
=>So the plug
=>for the overflow tank just dangles.  What is the best way to defeat this.
=>Can I just cut-strip and crimp these to leads together for a false "full"
=>signal?
