how low does the coolant/oil have to be to trigger the buzzer?

I think my warning buzzers arent working? I know for a fact the redline buzzer dosent work.

I checked the oil yesterday and it was halfway down the notched section. the "LEVEL" light on the clock panel has never lit up

the other strange thing is the "ADD COOLANT" light is always on but its totaly full.

ideas?

Oil Buzzer and light comes on at one quart under the bottom level line (or two quarts low total)

Water Buzzer and light comes on anytime there is not continuity to coolant (as in there is air in the radiator and has nothing to do with the white translucent overflow tank)

yea, I bled the rad from the sensor hole by unscrewing it just enough for coolant to flow out. so theres no air in there, but the lights still on. how can i test the buzzers?

If you squeeze the top radiator hose with the engine cold, do you hear air movement/gurgling??? If you do, you have not bled the system correctly (but it sounds like you didn't bleed it correctly anyway- should have used the bleed holes and then pumped out the air at the top pressure cap.

Unplugging the coolant sensor will cause the buzzer to trigger and the light to go on.
