coolant light stays on

[talonawd1995]

The coolant light on my talon wont turn off
I have replaced my water pump with a new one and gutted my thermostat.
There arent any leaks but I have taken out the water temp sensor so I could have a water temp gauge.

Fill the windshield washer reservoir. Rubber plug on the driver's side, in the gutter of the rear hatch.

Will low washer fluid really throw the coolant light?

you have a airgap in the radiator,their is a bleeder on the bottom of the radiator, open this bleeder and when you see water dripping out tighten it and then your air pocket will be gone and the light should turn off

DSMs have, and need, no bleeders. These ain't Chevys.

Have you checked the overflow bottle by any chance? The sensor is in the bottom of it. Make sure it is filled to proper level and the sensor is plugged in. Oh and also check the washer fluid in the rear bottle in the hatch area as Defiant said. heh

I suggest you do a quick check on your wiring. Make sure nothing is coroded or any wires not connecting.

Coolant overflow bottle hey? mines a gatorade bottle haha. Yeah im ghetto. But yeah once you know you have the proper amount of coolant in the system and the overflow bottle you can disconnect the sensor. I had to inorder to run my gatorade racing coolant overflow canister. No annoying little lights.
