OK, that makes it official. I will now go back to the drawing board with my flashing coolant level light and make it work...A testimony like that one...who can argue with that? Though I do monitor my coolant temperature gauge closely, I could miss it as it goes HOT..then goes back cool (because all the coolant is gone and it is reading nothing...) Saw that behavior when I blew a coolant hose..and then blew the headgasket...

Likely a function of it being converted to the I-4 motor..I tried and tried to get that sucker to stop flashing...Until I finally took out the whole clock and made a nice little ovoid piece of black electrical tape. Put that right over that bulb and re-assembled the instrument in the dash. You can't even see that black tape in there, and the light? Probably still flashing, but who cares? > > Don Hanson > > > > > > > |
