Low Coolant Light
Dudes,
I got my oil changed at wal-mart and I was driving home and saw that my low coolant light was on. I got to the house and put a little water in it and I noticed the fluid was fine. I have been driving it 2 days now and my temperature has not went above the halfway mark so its not over heating. I noticed today that it binks and I was wondering if it could be a loose connection (but I dont know where to look), any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Abe

check the overflow bottle right next to the radiator, just follow the hose from the cap housing, that where the coolant light is located, might be a bad connection, or you might have to just clean it off to make good contact.

Mine is the same way, I pulled the overflow bottle cap and pull out the sensor, it's got two brass tabs on it that sit in the water and currant flows through the water. mine was all gunked up, you need to scrape it off. it is like hard water deposits. this worked for a couple months I need to do it again.
Hope this helps, Andy |

I also have cleaned off the the brass tabs at the end of the sensor almost every year since i've owned my 91 notch since it was bran new .
