Add Coolant Problem

My 86 rx-7 keeps on saying i need coolant on the front dash and makes a buzzing sound and it wont stop but the thing is I filled my coolant up. So i dont know if its a sensor problem or what . Can some one help me out?

There's probably air stuck in there somewhere. Leave the cap off (cold car) and fill the fluid up to the top. Wait a while, the bubble might come out. If not, I guess you'll have to flush the system again. That's the only way I can think of to remove a bubble, somebody pitch in if you know a better.

Check your water pump weep hole and radiator carefully for leaks...

i got sick of mine. i rigged it so i could ground the wire before it gets to the sensor. i'm not saying this is right, but i'll be damned if i'm going to drive one mile listening to that buzzing just because the problem hasn't been fixed yet. and i think its crap that i should have to fill my coolant any weird way just to please the buzzer (this more refers to what someone else said in a thread on this same topic).
moreso, after rebuild, my upper radiator hose squeezes a tad bit of water out. i'm not going to hook that sensor up just to here it buzz soon. i just keep an eye on my water level. the leak is VERY slow anyways.
