disabling coolant level sensor

[vex]

I prefer the NPT pitch and it's already tapped for that. When comparing prices I could make a sensor without issue for about 10 cents when compared to mazdatrix selling them for over $30 a pop. It's not that hard to take a piece of aluminum wrap it or dunk it in thermo plastic/teflon/non-conductive material (though for my application it is pretty asinine since the radiator isn't grounding out against the body--and I used metal and only metal connections, it's a pretty slick way for me to do it, lol shhhhH) and just solder or tin on an electrical connection. It wouldn't be that hard to do at all. In the meantime however I'm not going to waste precious time fabbing sensor when I can do that when time isn't at a premium.

Also, TTT if your stock harness is still intact (though I doubt it is since it's all going through cannon plugs) you can just make your own and use the stock warning light/buzzer without sacrificing an input/warning.

Even better, just get a 3/8" npt plug, voila.

Really, aftermarket sensor + woromg

or

npt plug, stock sensor
Doesn't make sensor to use a non stock sensor to me.

That last sentence doesn't make sense to me
