Add Coolant light....
Mine was On cause a leak in the water pump gasket. I decided to change the pump to be safe and replaced it with a new one including gasket. Put silicon between gasket-pump, gasket block. Seal is perfect. The thing is, the light is still on. Any ideas what could this be?

My guess would be that you need to add coolant.
Try bleeding the system to remove any air bubbles.
Or, the sensor could be bad. Jumper the wire to ground and see if the buzzer turns off. If it does, replace the sensor (assuming you have topped up the coolant and bled).

what year is your car?? i kno 86 and 87s have only one cap right next to the thermostat. then there is a bleeder screw on the actual radiator (right next to where the radiator hose goes into the radiator).....if you have a 86 or 87, unscrew the little plastic screw (when the engines cold) and fill the coolant until coolant comes out where the little screw was. tighten the screw and you should be good.

i had the same problem, everyone is right about bleeding the system, but after i bled mine the light stayed on. I bled it again and disconnected the negative battery terminal for a bit. Hooked it back up and BINGO!!! If you're sure it's bled properly, give that a try.

that's the only "neck" my rad has. Doesn't have the conventional neck that other radiators have. If water need to be added to the rad, that's the only place were to... I will try that screw anyway. Tnks all. I will let know the results
