rxs are typical for electrical problems i believe, if theres nothing wrong i wouldnt sweat it, unless that little light annoys you that much maybe its the sensor?

have you filled the coolant recently? you may have an air bubble in there. start it cold w/ the rad cap off and let it warm up. once the thermostat opens, if there is an air pocket, you should see the water get sucked up and outta the radiator. then fill it up.

Your warning/idiot light panel might be facked. Might have to resolder some of the points in it.

no i havent tried the classifieds yet but i will. and with the cluster i have resoldered it once but maybe i missed that. the crazy thing is it doesnt stay on all the time. it does it for a lil bit then quits the starts back up. and it only does it when the car is heated up. im gonna try both of that though.

If the wire leading to the sender is open somewhere, the buzzer will sound.

if you have a fray anywhere in your lines then it will come on every now and again (like mine). Also make sure there are no bubbles (as previoiusly stated). Id say drop your coolant and refill it correctly.
