Default Flashing coolant light and Faulty Tacho fix on AU's

I just bought a 2001 AU2 Forte Wagon and it has the same flashing Coolant level light. After hours of searching I found out the following: Most AU2 I6 engines were not fitted with coolant level sensors but Ford didn't remove the light. Ford installed an earth loop wire to keep the useless light out. The earth this created was faulty and resulted in the Coolant light coming on and also in some cases the Tachometer reading going to full scale high. Ford then put out a fix which replaced this small loop with a hard wired earth to the battery. This is as much as I have found out. If anyone out there can provide photos of where this wire is and how to fix it we would greatly appreciate it. Thanx, Bazza.
