The Sensor sticks inside coolant reservoir Bottle.
No maintenance possible according to mechanic.
Thermostat gasket, radiator cap replace and radiator flush done so far.
Add coolant light still comes on after many miles 12-15 freeway miles.
It needs replacement. How involved is this.
Will I get directions on the package when we buy from Shucks?
Macs Radiator shop wants to charge us $300.00 for a $47.00 part...DUH?
Thanks for any advice.

    do not dismiss the radiator shop so quickly they are business to make money be more concerned with the mechanic you went to. go to ford, buy the recovery tank assembly and replace it. it is a straight forward job, just take your time it pays around an hour in a shop, so add more time if you do it,
