The sensor for the gauge is on the passenger side, in an area between the rear spark plugs, as I recall. It only has one wire coming from it.
The sensor on the waterpump is for the ECM, and it has 2 wires on it.

Neither of the coolant sensors are capable of displaying "LOW COOLANT" - if the OP doesn't have C68 AC then it's immaterial to mention the digital display because C60 won't have access to the information.

The connector @ the CTS is a likely failure as well as the sensor itself.

on my 94 I just jack up the right rear and take the rad cap off and let the air bubble out.

I just inspected the coolant sensor on the passenger side and noticed it was dry rotted and not connected. Picked up a new one and installed it. Now!!! I can't clip on the pigtail connector! Is it possible that it's the wrong one?

OP - through the years there has been some confusion as to what is used as a sender for the TEMP GAUGE. Did the old switch have just a "single spade" connector or was it an enclosed 2 pin connector. What brand and part number did you buy? You don't need a snapshot just the part # and brand.
This is the "single spade" type - pay no attention to years mentioned.

this is the 2 pin variation

A TU66 might be a similar change to the 8993146 from most any AP store.
