Jerry,

Check the water level sensor in the main coolant tank.  It fits into the
recess on top of the bottle and is connected by a two-prong connector.  I'd
check connections first.

Hope this helps.

Subject: Blinking Termperature Light

I'm sure this has come up a million times in the past and I did try the
archives but the search engine kept throwing me off.  I got into my Westy
yesterday started up the engine and the red temperature light started
blinking immediately.  Never had any overheating problems in the 5 months
since I bought the van.  Is this merely a short somewhere?  Is it still safe
to drive the van if the temperature guage stays in the normal zone?  Is this
something I need to fix before a long trip?  Thanks for any help.
