coolant temp idiot light
Driving my 94 E320 last night after dark on the interstate. Traffic moving about 60mph, outside temp about 85F, coolant temp gauge at about 90C, everything seems fine except the coolant temp idiot light is faintly glowing. Drive home turn engine off, check coolant level everything is OK. No leaks last night, none this morning. Drive to work in bright sun, can't see the light, pull into the parking garage and see the light dimly illuninated. Any ideas?
regards, Mark |

Mine stays lit too, i'm thinking the sensor gets crud on it and stops working?

Buy a new sensor (around $40 I think) and be done with it...15 minute job.

Had an old Accord long time ago with over 200k on it and no crazy lights on the dashboard whatsoever.... no fan cklatches...no head gasket leak... no headligt wiper motor acting funny...no five link suspension that needs replacement twice a year ....no sping perches... no wheel alignment and tire ballancing with evry tire rotation....no....no no... But I am driving a benz....I guess if I would of put half of the love($) that I put in this benz on that old Accord probably now it would of have 2 milions miles and still running....
