Little update, I think I'll start a new thread because my brakes are working fine. Changed the oil and the coolant......no, both had NOT been changed by the previous owner. Oil and filter change went fine, coolant on the other hand.....😬 Nice and green in the radiator, nasty rusty brown when drained. Twice. Decided to do a complete overhaul of the system. New water pump (very easy to replace), thermostat, and o-ring at the elbow above the thermostat. Buttoned up and started it up and gauge rose again to over 3/4, and coolant was leaking out the bolt holding the elbow on. Grrr. That elbow is not a fun part to put back on. Also the fans never came on. So found the "pusher" fan is junk as when I jumped it, it only turned at about 5 RPM and the jumper wires got red hot. Also did get a new oil pressure sensor installed although I haven't started the car again yet as........the key decided to get stuck in the ignition tumbler and I ended up tearing the column apart again to get the tumbler/key out. At the locksmith as I type. Bringing a car back that's been sitting for so long (2004) is more than just getting it running. I'm going to have a complete new car when I'm done. Oh wait, I forgot about the interior fan running, even with the key out! Battery cable off stopped that.🤪

I think the question you posted is a good one but I don't have a spare sender. I'm sorry that no one attempted to give you an answer. This use to be the forum to come to for answers to question like yours, but as you can see, everyone seems to have lost interest. Same is true for the AACA forum. Facebook is the hot place to be for Reattas but that seems to be waning as well. People wanting to sell their Reattas seems to dominate the conversations there lately.
