Subject:      Coolant level light
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed


Never goes out. I know this is just a fault - but what? Got coolant,
Sensor in tank is good. Bad circuit in the instrument pod?? That light
is a good warning system for coolant loss - if it works. Had a water
pump seal blow once and lost all water in a heartbeat. That light saved
the engine for me. Shut it off the instant that light came on. Engine
never even got hot. Caught it before all coolant was gone. Still plenty
in it, though it continued to pee out when I stopped. Had to get a 60
mile tow to a capable shop. New pump and coolant took care of the
problem. Anyone know what to do with this light?


Thanks,


John Rodgers
