Coolent light

[jesse dobbin]

So my coolent light came on as I was driving home so I stopped and picked some up it was low but I don't think it was low enough to turn the light on but refild it anyways and the light is still on I no 100% that I have a boost leak recurc pipe cracked \ tore then I was hooking up the new bov so I tapped it waiting for a new one to come in any thoughts in why te light might be on

If your coolant is slowly dissapearing. I would look to find the root cause. Not to be concerned with the fact that the light is on.

My coolant was dissapearing, I had a BHG.

the light is a simple ciruit.  its a switch located in the overflow bottle.  you should be able to easily test it.  I think also a charging system failure can cause the light to come on as well, but this is usually acompanied by the battery light and ebrake light on as well.

If I had a blown hug wouldn't I be blowing smoke or anything?

Not if its pressure into the cooling system.

usually tho with that kind of headgasket leak, you end up having the overflow tank filling with coolant, so therefore the light wouldn't be on,  just overheating/and or no heat from the heater would be noted.

I just drove the car from north an to surrey and it seemed fine I'm thinking it might just be a sensor I checked under my car befor I got in it there was nothing on the ground and even checked it after the warm up

And the over flow tank is dry I don't think that would have anything to do with it but it's hard to tell if it's running like shot cuz of the boost leak

My overflow was empty when my BHG happened.

[jesse dobbin]

I must say u are starting to scare me what's the easy eat way to tell if that is te case cuz I can't find anything wrong with it

[jesse dobbin]

I checked the sensor I Dono what happened but I checked the sensor kinda just have it a "FAWK" and I Dono how I but the light went off maybe the dsm gods where tired of laughing but it's all good now
