Just to be sure, check the radiator level first thing in the morning when the engine is cool. The sensors can be a little flaky. Even though I cleaned mine good recently, it has still been coming on from time to time.

Your options are to clean it, ignore it, unplug it or replace it.

I have never seen the low coolant light blink.

Hey guys, if you can clean the sensor, where is it located? My light just started coming on and going back off and dont know why? On one day, off the next?
