Subject:Re: Coolant Low Level Light Useful?

I tackled my 'flashing idiot light' like a true idiot...taped it over inside
the instrument panel.  Simple and direct.. I bet it's still flashing back
there, wondering what's going on...Coolant is still full..just checked again
as I checked the oil..The light keeps saying  "No, your coolant is too low"
but I shut that light right up...that lying light.
