The wire color is either Dk Blu or Dk Grn; my '85 FSM isn't entirely clear on that sensor...

Drk Green and mine comes of a branch in the same wire loom that feeds the fan from the drivers side across the power steering rack and into the sensor. Good luck.

I didn't think the Low Coolant level sensor came out until 1986!

My 85 doesn't have a low coolant warning light. The new GM radiator I installed does. I believe the old radiator is disco'd. You probably have a newer radiator.
