Resolved What does this gauge light mean?

[MasterMatt209]

I’ve attached a picture of a light that illuminated when I turn the key in my car before I start it. Just curious what that light means

Coolant low ,or the sensor at overflow bad connection

Coolant level. It's supposed to be a picture of a radiator.

edit: beaten.

That's a picture of a bank. Your DSM needs more money.

95s are equipped with a sensor in the overflow tank I think, known to trigger a light. 96+ don't have it. I assume it's on your 95. If it stays on and your coolant is full then you know it's bad.

Thanks for the info it doesn’t stay on I’m just not used to seeing it at all since my 98 is different. Was just curious what the light was

This solves a question I've had since getting a 'new' '95 GS-T a few months back. I found the wiring and switch for that warning light in the coolant overflow reservoir. There was a place for the bulb in the cluster but the mask over that location was blacked out from the factory -- no ATM ... I mean, radiator symbol.

And now I know why: The car's a '95 all right (VIN ...) but the bumper covers, lights, and a few other odds and ends are '98. The P.O. -- who wasn't the person who made the swaps -- said "The mileage isn't right." So what I had is a '98 instrument cluster with that feature deleted.

Fixed by transplanting the mask from a '95 cluster.

THANK YOU!
