Does anyone elses low coolant Warning go off when you fill up the reservoir past a certain point. I find that when I drain the coolant to the bottom of the reservoir it goes off, sometimes blinks on when I'm getting on it (hitting the gas) and I'm guessing it splashes higher?

"Does anyone elses low coolant Warning go off when you fill up the reservoir past a certain point" - This is how it is supposed to work.

"I find that when I drain the coolant to the bottom of the reservoir it goes off" - This is exactly the inverse of what you just said?

Now by "go off" do you mean turn off, or turn on?

When the reservoir is full the low coolant light turns on. When it is low it turns off. This is what I was told by the previous owner. He said he filled the reservoir and it turned on so he drained it to where it does not light up but when I hit the gas hard and it sloshes around the light just flickers on them off. Maybe a sensor?

that would be my first guess. Have you taken it out and inspected it and the connections to it yet?

The sensors are notorious for going bad.

You can buy a new one from LMR.

I simply removed the bulb from my dash at the same time I put a new odometer gear in.

Check the coolant each time you change oil and live without the light like most cars on the road.

Or just pull the bulb out of the cluster. [emoji38]
