Click to expand...

above quote is a fact these sensors rarely go out, the metal prongs at the bottom of the sensor corrode causing the light to illuminate just pull sensor out of the overflow tank and clean these metal prongs with a pocket knife or metal bristle brush until the shiny metal is exposed this should fix it...
