#64288, "radiator fluid overflow, somebody help please!"
When I bought my car 2 1/2 years ago, the wiring job on it was very sloppy, I had wires cut and open ends everywhere. My overflow tank was getting really yellow and grundgy, so I bought a new one at a junkyard for $5. The only problem is, I didn't know there was supposed to be a motor pump at the bottom of it. Well the new one does and I dont know where the wires are that go to it. I have a 95, could anyone tell me the color of the 2 wires that plug into the tank? My new tank has 2 bright blue wires, one with a white stripe, but I dont have that color anywhere in my engine bay

It's not a motor pump, it's just a sensor that triggers the radiator light when your coolant is low. Look for a 2 prong wire harness in the general area of your overflow tank, if you need the color of the wires on the harness let me know and I will look at my car and tell you.
