Add coolant light

Ok.. so i come home and decide to top my cars fluids off and i add some oil, add coolant and check everything out.


go to start my car it warms up... next thing i know my low coolant light is on and the buzzer we all love is screaming.

so i let it run for a little bit thinking Amby it will turn off... it doesn't...


so then i add a little more coolant... turn the car on, still buzzing and the light.


go for a drive and it dosent turn off but nor does my temp gauge go up above normal.



so then i take the positive wire off the battery for about Minuit too see if that might change it... and it didn't.. and i am fresh out of ideas...



help?

Bleed the system. Follow methods in the FSM or a good ol repair manual to get any air out of the cooling system. While your up there make sure the sensor on the top of your radiator is plugged in. Its just 1 wire and gets broken easily.

oh and search.

Dear Nintendo,
It was a hard lesson learned, but we all knew it was for the best.
