For those experiencing the coolant light flashing problem. I had the
same problem that many of you described. Since my coolant level was find
and the temp guage was showing normal I drove the wb for several weeks.
As the coolant level went down I topped up with plain water twice and
the coolant indicator went back to normal. This leads me to the conclusion
that the antifreeze/water ratio does funny things to the sensor.
I believe those of you using the new Sierra or Havoline phosphate free
antifreeze may experience the same problem. Comments from anyone ?
