Subject:      Coolant Light

Ok folks - I think i already know the answer to this but I am hoping for any further insight.

Driving back towards home this morning I noticed the collant light begin to blink - needle stayed where it normally is just below the light. I was concerned because it has never ever ever come on before (well in the approx 1yr I've had it running). Now I pulled over and shut down for a few. Checked collant level all appears to be well. So I started her back up to see what might happen and the light never returned. No signs of actual over heating.

So my though is this. I opened the valve (if that's the proper term) to the rear heater on Halloween night. I ran the blower breifly that night but not since. THen this morning it was cold and I had the hound in the back so I turned that rear heater on full blast for him. I am thinking that since the valve was closed off and I really haven't used that heater much maybe there was some air hiding in there some where and I just need to bleed the system.

What are your thoughts?

-- Thanks,
