warning light. over heating!!!

["sharp"]

ok thanks everybody. I found a blown hose. wasnt very fun but i got it fixed. the problem now is that I filled everything up but the light wont go off. do i need to reset something or what?

you didn't fill up the bottle up front, thats what makes the light go on

it's outside the engine bay near the front left headlight


btw , what do you think made the hose blow ?


now is when you want to make sure you do not have any air pockets/air bubbles and it's completely topped off .

you need to watch it closely
the reserve bottle and the radiator watch for ANY water usage

and listen for a rushing water sound in the dash when you start up in the morning

my check engine light wont go off and my brake light wont go off.. whats with that? the check brake lights light is on above the check engine light, sometimes it goes off, do i need to fill that container next to the left headlight to turn off the check engine light?

you need to do a diagnostic of the error codes your engine is throwing .

you jump connections on the diag box in the engine bay
and the engine light blinks a morse code type blink

He didnt know coolant could go into the coolant recovery reservoir, I doubt he is going to be able to check his codes.

I flushed and changed my coolant not too long ago, and after I filled everything up (including the overflow bottle) my "birdcage" light was still on. It turns out that when I was shooting a high pressure stream of water in the bottle to clean out all the goopies, I cause the float on the sensor to get stuck. I took the bottle back out, dumped it out and turned the whole thing over and the float didnt move. I gently reached inside with a screwdriver and free'd it up. That cured that issue.

If your check brake light warning is coming on and going off it sounds to me like you may have a bad connection somewhere. I have seen bulbs get all corroded and make poor contact in their sockets lots of times. I would start there. Take each of the bulbs out, clean them (one of those green kitchen scrubbers works great for this) and put them back in.

As for your check engine light being on, it means that your computer has senced something is wrong or was wrong in at least one area of operation of the engine/trans. It could be simple or it could be real trouble. you wont knonw until you "retrieve" the code from the memory.

there might also be another culprit for the brake light. make sure there is enough fluid in your brake master cylinder.
