I have a bad sender on my car. The light will blink when the engine is cold. To
put it correctly: It blinks for 5 sec's as a check, goes out for 15 sec's then
starts to blink again, and doesn't stop even if the engine heats up. So, when
the engine is hot, I shut it off, and start it again (resetting the computer)
then the light goes out after 5 sec's, and doesn't blink. I have a bad sender,
but I don't know which.
