The sensor is in the radiator just under where the upper hose goes in.

yep...

on the engine side, just under the fill cap.

you can try removing the sensor and cleaning it. some people say that does the trick for a while, instead of unplugging it or replacing it.

Honestly, I wouldn't bother. The coolant level sensors are such problems they quit installing them in later years. I disconnected mine, just check the level when I check the oil. JMO

how to replace the coolant level sensor 1998 Z28.

1 lower coolant level.
2 remove the battery.
3 this will give you a clear view of the sensor on the radiator tank on the passenger side.
4 remove the plug from the sensor.
5 remove the metal spring clip that holds the sensor to the radiator tank.

This is easily reached and removed with the battery out of the way.

6 Now pull the sensor straight out push the new one in and hear it clip on.
7 plug in the sensor and re-install the battery.
