Subject:Flashing Coolant Light Sensor Test
From:David Shepherdson
Date:Mon, 19 Jun 2006 09:49:53 -0700

I am getting the flashing coolant light in my 87 syncro. It is not a problem with coolant level or temperature. I have read some of the many archives which would suggest a ground in one of the wires, a faulty instrument panel, or wrong mixture. One question I could not find answered though. If the connector to the sensor is removed and the terminals shorted, should the light stop flashing (mine does not)? If the light simply flashes when the resistance goes below a certain value then this would be so but maybe it is more sophisticated than that? Can anyone answer this?
  Thanks,
  David
