Okay, I took the tank off, took the sensor out washed the tank out real good to get any gunk crap out of it. I hooked it all back up put the coolant in , and the coolant light is still on! What now? Lol

Wait till you get it through a full heat up cycle. As I recall, you have to have pressure build up, etc, before it will actually go out. Be sure to top the tank off too.

I got her on the highway today and its gone. A few months ago i threw in bars copper stop leak to try and stop that coolant leak before. When i took the tank off to clean it, the tank inside was completely covered in copper sludge ( not good) so i completely scrubbed it out and put the new sensor and the lights gone. I think the copper sludge caused the light to go on. Now i know trying a cheap fix is not a good idea.
