Default EVERY TIME I get happy in the stang

Whether it is just a simple "flooring" the gas pedal, or chirpin the tires around a corner, I look down at the RPMs or something, and see that annoying "coolant level" light on the far right. WHY does this keep coming up

yeah i had that come up for awhile after i change the coolant... i just made sure to check it regularly and then it went away after awhile, but a bad sensor is never not an option.

should be in the coolant reservoir....check your fluid levels, then check to see if the sensor is stuck or has air bubbles stuck around it. Also check the electrical connections for the sensor. if the sensor is bad, pull it, i think they are like $80. It should be like $120 for a whole new reservoir.

Do what I did, get an aftermarket overflow tank and ditch the sensor, no more light and bling under hood
