"add coolant" light comes and and buzzzing wont shut the $#%& UP!!!
so when i first turn my car on, its fine, then about 15-20sec later that damn "add coolant" light comes on along with a consistant buzzzzzzz, makes me fuckin go crazy, so i was about to just cut the wire that go's to the buzzer but then was thinkin, wait, maybe its doing this cuz something is going wrong, was thinkin maybe the coolant temp. switch..if SO wheres it at? cuz cant seem to find it in the haynes manual, maybe its called something else??? could somebody please just tell me what is going wrong here, it just started doing this one day....it seems that it shuts up after i drive for like 10 minutes or so i assume cuz engine is heated up by then or so?...could also maybe be my thermostat? im just trying to shut this thing up...REALLY makes it so i dont even wanna drive its so damn annoying..

its possible u have air traped in the radiator right near the top switch.. if thats the case it will read low coolant untill all the air is expelled from the system..
I would start by bleeding yoru cooling system and topping it off (make sure u have some in your resivoir too) |
search, more then likely a air bubble in you coolant system.
|
aight, well thats easy, i'll try that and hopefully that buzzin go's off, that shit was goin on like almost my whole ride back from pittsburgh to cleveland was NOT fun
|
thats the replace engine buzzer....haha

You need to add coolant directly into the radiator cap while the engine is cold. That'll fix the problem right away. But it might come back (see below).
Right now when your car warms up the thermostat opens and coolant flows over the coolant sensor in the radiator. This problem could indicate another problem: After your car warms up the coolant expands and the excess goes into the coolant reservoir. As the coolant contracts a vacuum forms to suck coolant back into your radiator UNLESS:
#3 is most likely, then #2, then #1, then #4. #4 is easiest to fix, then #3, then #2, then #1. I'd replace your thermostat, then check for sediment, then check your fan clutch, then go from there. You'll probably want to replace your thermostat anyway, if it's not OEM. |

and be sure that the sensor cable is hooked up, mine falls off every now and then and sets off the add coolant buzzer.
