Default Low Coolant Module 1988

This sounds like a stupid question, but does anyone have a good idea on how to replace the low coolant module? I have the old one out, but there is only room for one hand up behind the dash. So I can't plug in the new one. It's like trying to plug two extension cords together when you can only get your hand on one. You push and the other gives way. Actually, the module has been acting up for 2-3 years (I eliminated everything else) so now the low coolant light no longer comes on. I guess that's one solution, but I'd like to replace the module if I can figure out how to support the plug. Thanks

I've had good success in these kinds of tight spots using a length of wire coat hanger bent to fit around whatever part of the connector that will hold it. leave enough length to grab it with the other hand outside of the dash. Loop it around the back end of the harness at the base of the connector.

I was thinking along the same lines - a special tool. However, being an engineer, I was going to make it much more complicated. A cost hanger is a much simpler solution and easy to modify on the run as needed. Thanks for the suggestion.
