The low-coolant system has three components: the overheat warning
blinker in the temp gauge, a coolant level controller 191 919 376 or
191 919 376A, and a pair of stainless steel pins swimming in the
coolant pressure bottle.  If you have an '85 or older you may have
controller 251 919 376 which is taller and should be replaced with
one of the newer ones.

I can say with assurance that together we can get your low coolant
warning system working correctly.  First thing to do is pull the tape
off it, turn the key on (engine off) and describe in detail what the
light does in the first fifteen seconds.
