I have a 94 lt1 and i have white gauge overlay and cant tell what light it is....its the one by the RPMS and MPH...Right in the middle...i think it looks like coolant, but im not sure....the overlay isnt dead on top of the lights...

my manual is not in the car so i didnt have it to reference...

thanks!

Right under the 6 on the tach is the low coolant lamp.

When you don't have your printed owner's manual...

That happen to me the other night...Very random...I check my fluids all the time...I didn't know what it was at first, but when I checked the coolant it was low....

The low coolant sensor goes bad after a while on these cars. Mine is currently in this state... its on all the time even though my coolant is fine. Ive read its an expensive sensor to fix so i dont really plan on fixing it.

>just keeping an eye on your coolant lever is a pain... just get the sensor.
it can't be that expensive, can it???

ive heard its about $90 and a total PITA to do (have to completely drain the system). my car is a weekend toy. I have my eye on the temp gauge all the time anyway because it varies so much. (i hit the fans when it starts warming up). I even have an additional coolant gauge for the passenger cylinder bank that im going to wire up as soon as i install an electric water pump. Ive not had any problems with my car getting to hot ever either.

Aw, c'mon...the sensor is less than $30 (wholesale) and you don't have to drain the whole system-just get the coolant level below the sensor.

yeah i paid like 35 from advance auto....drain some coolant..install sensor with clip....top off....get to operating temp...bleed air...whole thing couldn't have taken me more than 30 min

Local Chevy dealer has it for like 35 bucks. Unplug and tape it for now or forever.

JoeliusZ28

well gee thats not as big of a deal as I read previously, I might fix it then.

mcalus

26 bucks at Murrys...That is with the new wiring harness that goes to it...

I still haven't got it yet tho
