If you check the level, and it's fine, you 9/10 times have a bad sensor. If the problem is intermitent, test the sensor (or replace it) and you will usually fix the problem. If that is not it, you may want to check the imput or wiring leading to the cluster, or control unit. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>ihatethesesns</b> <br /><small>Member # 684</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,3,18,0,32,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> do you have gunk build up around the sensor? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>racercosmo</b> <br /><small>Member # 1864</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,3,18,9,21,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> If the water level is ok and you check it enough, just unplug the sensor, the light will go out. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>4.6 EATIN GM'S</b> <br /><small>Member # 1633</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,3,18,13,42,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> yesterday i started the car and just let it sit a while at idle and watched the water level it slowly went into the motor and i added water as it left the radiator.and repeated until it wouldnt take no more.<br /><br />i guess since its a new motor and i dont drive it all the time once in a while the motor will "burp" it self and take more water,but for some reason before yesterday when that light would come on i would check the water level and it would seem like it is full. so we will see<br />thanks for the info guys <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
