so my low coolant light comes on and goes off, comes on, goes off...my car doesnt leak coolant that ive noticed but i added coolant to the reserve, and now the light goes off, and so far it has stayed off...prior though, the gauge needle would go up (almost ttt) then drop back down, then to the middle..its wierd...what could it be?

could be a shity sender, or a faulty gauge. factory ones arnt very accurate as it is. id just get an aftermarket one if need be.
