low coolant level light

hobgoblin · April 25th, 2011, 08:24 PM

I have a 1992 Mustang LX 5.0L and im getting the low coolant light in my instrument panel when i turn my car off. When the car is started or put into ACC mode the light turns off. Also over night my battery drained completely. I unplugged the coolant level sensor and the light remains on. Im thinking its a bad coolant level sensor but since the light did not turn off when i unplugged it I am unsure if replacing it will solve the problem. Any suggestion will be much appreciated. Thanks.

is your over flow tank full. the sensor in that is what turns mine on.

Unplugging the sensor is the same thing as having the overflow tank full. I think you have a shorted wire somewhere.
