I put in some distilled water. Reservoir was empty. Everything looked and worked fine. 5 miles later light blinking again, but reservoir still full. No obvious leaks. Possible bad thermostat? Less than 4000 miles since new radiator was installed (In 2007 - I only use it for pleasure driving) I'm 45 miles from home, and DO have AAA with long distance towing, but don't want to use it unless necessary.
