Look and see where it is. I dont have one. Its prolly on the overflow bottle, see if the water is up to its level. I have a good temp guage for that purpose, and I watch it. I would put black tape over the light if it was mine. Or remove the bulb if its easy to get at.

He's talking about that light that comes on when the sensor detects low coolant. It's the sensor attached to the coolant resivour bottle, just unplug it, problem solved. Of course you could do it right and get a new one, but that cost money, and it won't make your car go faster.

You can unplug the sensor at the overflow bottle. That's what I did you shut my light up.

Stock temp guage sucks. It tells you that its operating normally, not the temp of your coolant. Mine pegged hot when the motor was cold, I got a new sender and it fixed it. I got an autometer manual guage cause I wanted to know how hot it is at all times.
