Subject:Coolant Light

Ok folks - I think i already know the answer to this but I am hoping for any
further insight.

Driving back towards home this morning I noticed the collant light begin to
blink - needle stayed where it normally is just below the light. I was
concerned because it has never ever ever come on before (well in the approx
1yr I've had it running). Now I pulled over and shut down for a few. Checked
collant level all appears to be well. So I started her back up to see what
might happen and the light never returned. No signs of actual over heating.

So my though is this. I opened the valve (if that's the proper term) to the
rear heater on Halloween night. I ran the blower breifly that night but not
since. THen this morning it was cold and I had the hound in the back so I
turned that rear heater on full blast for him. I am thinking that since the
valve was closed off and I really haven't used that heater much maybe there
was some air hiding in there some where and I just need to bleed the system.

What are your thoughts?
