Subject:Need more help - the dreaded flashing red light
From:Michael Wagner

Folks -

I'm still having some problems with the flashing red coolant light.  Maybe
with a little details on what I have done, someone will have a suggestion
about what I should try next.

I began having problems with the light flashing upon engine start-up, going
out for a few seconds, then flashing continuously again.

I've replaced the temperature coolant sensor that is installed into the rear
coolant bottle, and still had the same problem.

Now I've pulled the temperature coolant sensor relay from inside the dash
(marked 43) and replaced that, and I still have the same problem.  So, now I
don't know what to try next.  The van isn't loosing any coolant, the bottle
is full and everything else seems to be just fine.  So, I'm stumped again.
Any new ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Mike W.
