Default Low Coolant Light?

I have a 1993 Corvette that got low on Coolant due to a leak in the T conector that connects 3 hoses. I have had it fixed and no more leaks but my Low Coolant light will not go out.
Is there a way to reset the light?
Thanks
Bruce

There's no reset, but my guess is you are either low on coolant still, or you have air in the system.

With the engine cool and running, open the upper reservoir (surge) tank and add coolant mix as necessary. You'll want to bring her up to temp and allow the t-stat to open and add as necessary. Watch also to see that coolant is freely flowing from both hoses at the base of the filler neck.

The mechanic toped off the engine with coolant, it took $21 worth of coolant, he said he made sure it was flowing throughout the hoses. Could iot be a bad sensor, if so where is the sensor located?
Thanks

It would be unlikely that your sensor went bad just as you had a leak, but it's located at the front driver's side of the waterpump, towards the base. Maybe it's not connected?
