Hello, Question! need help

Hi my names Amy,
I'm a "new member"

Soooo, my car is a 1998 grand prix. I recently noticed my low coolant light continues to flash pretty consistently, but then sometimes when I am driving it doesn't at all.

My brother checked the reservoir and said it was full of coolant, however he checked under the radiator cap and said it was empty and that that wasn't normal.

Where do I go from here? Ive been suggested several things, but don't understand how to go at determining whether my thermostat is failing or if its got something to do with the sensor... or if theres a leak. What does the sensor and thermostat have to do with all of this? I would love to troubleshoot it myself.

Thanks,
Amy
 


Welcome to the site!
If the reservoir was full but the radiator wasn't I would change the radiator cap and refill the radiator. Then watch it and see what happens in a couple of days.
