I have a 96 gt and every so often while i'm driving a indicator light comes up for about 30 seconds and then goes away, it looks like a trash can with an x in the middle, when i bought the car it didn't have an owners manual so i was wondering if someone knew what the light meant. Thanks

I believe its a Low Coolant light, check antifreeze. Also take a quick peek at your intake and look for a crack if you havnt switched to the Aluminum crossover yet.

My mother used to have a 95 GT that the coolant light would come on. If the levels are visually inspected and are fine, check the sensor level contacts for corrosion. If I remember, they are on the rod connected to the overflow tank cap?? Not sure, been a long time since I've seen one. If they are, just clean them and you should be good to go.
