Coolant LED Flashing?

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

I'm sure it's been checked but have you cleaned the connection to the bottle? Also, if you plug it in backwards or if it lose, it'll set off the light. At least it's not as annoying as my oil light, which up until recently would go off randomly and make that horrible buzzing noise, constantly. Had I committed a crime at the time, I think I could have easily pled temporary insanity. Good luck!

The insulators over the spade connectors were fine. The sensor must
have failed. I will do a little more troubleshooting with Bentley and
an ohm meter. Thanks for the tip, it made me check all the wires near
the fuel lines to see it there was any worn insulation elsewhere.

Check the two braided fuel lines that run to your control preasure
regulator, they run right by your collant temp sensor on the front of
the block if the spade terminal has lost it's little plastic protector
those lines may touch the connector, grounding the sensor signal and
causing the light to stay on.

My 8v did this shortly after I bought it.

The led on the coolant temperature gauge on my 8v started flashing and
won't turn off. It flashed during startup and continued to flash as the
temperature rose to normal. Water level looks fine as well as
everything else. Any ideas?
Thanks, Rick Kellner.
