in our 98 gt the little radiator warning light won't turn off. we have checked everything and it still stays on. the car runs just fine and there are no problems. not sure why the light comes on every time we turn the car on and it will stay on the entire time.

anyone have any ideas?

Define "checked everything." I'm guessing the float...

Unplug the float sensor. It's under the resovoir tank. Same thing happend to me and I was baffled. Don't forget to reset the computer.

got the same problem last week. fill up with coolant if reservoir is low then disconnect battery for 5 min to clear the code and you should be good to go.
