I'm putting this here cause I don't think it's really tech.......but almost every time I drive my car that stupid low coolant light comes on at some point or another. Thing is, my coolant is not low at any time and everything is working properly.

Anyone else have this annoying little quirk? I'm getting tired of it to the point I might just yank the bulb, cause I know everything is fine.

pull the sensor out of the coolant overflow and clean the ends off good, that should fix it

if not just unplug the sensor

Mine still does it when cold... on a warm day (55') it stays off... Tried cleaning, etc... not worth replacing as it is like $100+
