Blinking Low Coolant Light

[grandprixboy]

I need help figuring out a problem. My low coolant light blinks. once about every 3 seconds almost like its an alarm blinking light. My coolant is not low and just had a new radiator put in about 2 months ago. Anyone have any idea why it could be doing this

probably just a bad sensor.

 

[grandprixboy]

never thought of that thanks

x2 on the bad sensor, they get gunked up and they stop working

clean the sensor before you change it, 50/50 chance it will work again. Removel it from the radiator and you'll see how mucy gunk is on the sensor end.

 

[minichopper6hp]

could just unplug it

that defeats the purpose of having a low coolant light.

exactly.

Ok i dont wanna sound slow but where is the sensor located at in the radiator?

 

[QwikGT]

just unplug it and leave it off

right under the coolant fill cap on the radiator.

Yup, I drove around with it un plugged for almost a year after I bought my car. Did not even know. Just check your coolant every now and then and save the money from buying the sensor.
