Takeuchi TL150 – coolant sensor wire

Could anyone tell me where to look for the coolant sensor wire on the Takeuchi Tl150 - it's light blue...fan blade accidentally ate it for lunch, and can't for the life of me locate where the wiring harness side of it is. Machine still runs fine though. Thanks much!

    I found it after the 4th time of searching for it, it's light blue with orange slashes. Evidently, the fan ate the wire and the coolant bottle line at the same time, so the previous owner took and crimped a connector on the end of it and grounded it out on the tower that houses the hydro fluid (due to the coolant being low in the radiator, which shuts down the machine). At first glance it appeared to simply be a ground wire. Come to find out the coolant sensor basically operates by grounding out the wire via coolant that touches the engine block, so simply grounding the wire bypasses the sensor. It's back in order now.

    New member..! Had a rag sucked into my 08 TL150 fan after changing hydraulic filter wiping oil off checking for leaks. Ya" i am a bone head.. It pulled a green wire off its connector that runs from water pump to ? Looks like its my temp gauge wire but cannot find where it connects ? has about 18" slack. Also the black wire from ac compressor clutch is disconnected but cannot find the loose wire anywhere. Any help appreciated"
