Light on in my dash
 

The light on in my dash looks like my water level light is on but I am full of coolant. Could this mean something else like my water pump is going out. I only have 80000 miles on the car. Any suggestions.

A little more info would help.

What kid of car.. Maybe a pic of the light would be good.

I had a '97 Grand Am with the same problem. I don't remember if I ever figured it out, so I'm not sure why I'm wasting your time with this post... :bonk:

Could be a bad coolant level sensor. Happened to my dad's 96 twice so far. though he has 205,000miles!!!

Thanks for the help. I will get a pic up tomorrow to make it easier.

probably what it is.


when was the last time you serviced your coolant? (drain/refill)? have you bled the system lately?

coolant level sensor
 

my did the same thing, light on, full of fluid. i replaced the coolant reservoir sensor and its fixed. hope that helps good luck.:chevy:

Flushed the system and refilled it. Light is still on. Where is this sensor so I can change it. I cant find it.

My 99 z28 (w/96k miles) is doing the exact same thing, and has been for about 8 months. I just ignore it. I was told the sensor on 4th gens are about as reliable as the window motors.

I have the same problem on a 98 z-28. I got the electric hook up off the sensor. How do you take the sensor off? And do you lose any coolant from removing it. It looks about 1/3 of the way down on the radiator. Thanks.
