Coolant Light

RE: Coolant Light
Could be the float sensor in the brake reservoir going/gone bad. Could be a break in one/both of the 2 wires going to the sensor as it makes a real sharp bend because Ford in their infinite wisdom attached the loom for the wires against the driver fender.Unfortunately, you can not change the float sensor because it is molded into the reservoir.

My coolant light keeps coming on, but the fluid level is full and has been full for weeks. What the hell is the problem? Any help would be appreciated!

I used to get it only after car washes and it would eventually turn off after a day or so. Once igot the blower installed it stoppped doing it. Have you tried installing a blower yet?
Seriously though, I think a component of my blower install is keeping the sensor or it's connection from getting soaked in the car wash.

Specifically....it's a Mustang. This is a known problem on New Edge's.

If you don't care about knowing if you have enough brake fluid or not from your dash, connect the two wires running into the float sensor in the reservoir together. That will complete the circuit and trick the computer into thinking the brake fluid level is full at all times.
I don't recommend the above modification, but it isn't going to hurt anything and as long as you keep an eye on the brake fluid level, bye bye dash light.

Just a suggestion to you guys with the car wash "syndrome". Pull the plug off of the reservoir, apply a generous helping of dielectric grease on the connectors and plug it back in.

My coolant light has been coming on and off periodically for about 6 months now. Keep an eye on your level constantly though because mine has started going down and it is leaking from the intake manifold. All I have to say is don't ignore it for too long.
