Coolant Light

I just got a new FMIC installed so the Fluidyne radiator I have had to be moved back a little bit and more upright. I'm thinking I just have air in the lines because the light keeps coming on and going off, even though the engine isn't getting hot. Water Temp reading from the Power FC is also a constant 87-90 degrees. What I was wondering is is there a bleeder screw anywhere to relieve the air or do I just have to pull off the hose from the nipple near the manifold and top let the air out that way? I'm not all that mechanically inclined but this seems pretty simple. Any info would be appreciated.

Sorry I can't help you. I'm having coolant light problems too. If I let my car sit for several days and then start it up the coolant light usually goes on almost right away. The resevour is full so then I add a little to the radiator and it goes away. Anyone else get this problem? I think it is being caused by a minor coolant leak in a hose or the radiator plug but I'm not sure.

Maybe...

Maybe you have air in the lines too. I'm thinking I have an air pocket near the sensor because when I brake hard or turn hard, the light will go off for a couple of minutes and then come back on. Also as I mentioned, my car doesn't get hot or anything so the radiator is working just fine.
