Just got done doing my timing belt on my 1g.... everything went perfect.. car runs like a dream again.. only problem is now my coolant light is on.. or radiator light or whatever i think it is... both electrical connections are pluged in on the radiator.. that was the only think i could think of... any one else have a clue why this light would be on ??

Is your coolant low? If you don't have enough coolant in the overflow the light will come on.

Not FULL just maybe 1/4 or 1/2 way.

so i have to fill the overflow bottle up.. the cooling system wont put any in there?? i have to do it manually??

There is a low coolant sensor in the bottom of the overflow bottle. Just add some coolant to the overflow and see if the light goes out.
