Are you sure the coolant is full and you have followed the proper procedure to bleed all the air out of the system?Tracy

You must bleed the air out of the system after changing the thermostat. Here is how. http://shbox.com/1/4th_gen_tech2.html#radflush

Where are you checking the coolant level - in the radiator, or in the reservoir?Fred

If it persists and you know the radiator is full, it's the old classic coolant level sensor corrosion problem. 2 fixes. Buy a new sensor, which is only like $20 or $25. It's in the top right of the radiator, near the cap. Otherwise, pull the current one out and clean it off with emery cloth or 400 grit sandpaper. The problem is corrosion on it, which makes it not read the ground and set off the light. If the corrosion is gone, it works correctly. Mine was on for probably a year or more off and on, new sensor, no light."No, officer, that bottle is my onboard Halon system"Comment
