Fill the windshield washer bottle, too.

well that was taken out and all the wiring for it so I dont think that would be it.

check your overflow again. Did you check it after the car heated up and the thermostat opened up? Maybe you didn't put enough fluid in and it pulled it all from the overflow.

I waited until the thermostate opened and added more until it overflowed and my overflow bottle is full where it should be. I went and i checked the plug and it looks all nasty inside like mold or something. Could that be the issue becuase i mean it was like that before and it was working fine.

After years of crap settling on them they stick. Drying out doesn't help.
Pull the overflow bottle, clean it with hot soapy water untill the float sensor starts working again.

I guess we were supposed to already know that.

Welp, good luck.

You can take the cluster out and then the bulb.
