It does sound like the sensor is either dirty inside the tank or bad. You will have to remove the overflow tank and the sensor is torward the bottom of the tank and easily replaced.

I HAVE A WARNING LIGHT ICON ON AT THE BOTTOM LEFT OF MY DASHBOARD IT LOOKS LIKE A CROWN OR A CIRCLE WITH SPACES IN BETWEEN. THE COLOR OF THE ICON IS ORANGE. ITS A LEXUS 1990 LS 400

I believe what this symbol is the radiator. It comes on when the coolant level is low. Take a look at your radiator coolant level and if low add some to the full mark. Do this when the engine is cold to avoid getting burned from hot water and steam.

I have a 1990 Lexus LS 400 and I was told the alternator is the problem....The lights, radio, and tail-lights do not work (Nothing electrical even with a new battery). Could this be the only problem??...

I would inspect your wires at the starter. If you live up north then corrosion is bad, clean all wires going to starter. then clean wires to back of alternator. I seriously doubt that alternator is the problem, but if you remove it you can have it tested for free at most parts stores.

All dash warning lights came on while driving. oil light, brake light, coolant light, battery light. car continued to run. once home turned off and now wont start. warning lights still come on and car...

Hatterasnc,

You're alternator has gone bad and the vehicle was running on battery power. The "clicking" sound is your now dead battery that does not have enough power to turn over the starter. You might also want to check your power steering pump for leak. This is a know problem with early LS400s and will most likey be the cause of the alternator failure. I just dropped $1050.00 to fix the very same promblems you have.
