Sure, the Coolant Warning Unit Relay or whatever you want to call it is above and to the forward left of the relay panel. It is not easy to see. Remove the small defroster vent to the left of the speedo and you can see a couple of relay sockets mounted above the space where all of the brown ground wires connect to the body. The Coolant Warning Unit has the number "43" stamped on the top. Getting your hands on it is tough but drop the fuse panel down so you can reach up there while looking through the hole where you removed the defroster vent.
