Subject: Flashing Coolant light when cell phone plug
into cig lighter

just what the subject says...

If and when I plug my cell phone charger into the dash
board cig
lighter =
my coolant light starts flashing...  sometimes
irregularly and
sometimes =
regularly.  Freaked me out a few times before I put
the combination =
together, now I just charge my phone from the 12v
accessory plug under
=
the passenger seat, but it'd be nice to fix this
little wiring glitch =
next time I spend some time behind the dash.

Any suggestions on how/why/what could be causing this?

TIA,
Jon
