On mine there was a bad sensor. Fixed it fora few dollars at O'reilly's. Take it to a Jiffy Lube or something, MB deal will rip you off.

What would make the low water level light come on in a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue But the car does not run hot?
The low water level sensor is in your radiator overflow resivoir. The reservoir is supposed to have a certain amount of coolant in it but if it's low, the light comes on. This has nothing to do with the radiator being empty. True, if the reservoir is left unchecked the radiator may eventually become low and then you will overheat but until then, it's just telling you the reservoir is low.
What is the warning light shaped like a horseshoe?
The 'horseshoe' is a depiction of a reservoir, probably your wiper reservoir, but possibly your radiator reservoir, which should be about half-full when cold.
Why wont your Mitsubishi radiator light on the dashboard go out?
Probably low on coolant, check the reservoir.
What is the horseshoe with slash shape dash light?
"the horseshoe" sounds like a reservoir icon; check your fluid levels. Suspect wiper reservoir empty.
Why is 1996 Sunfire radiator warning light flashing randomly when radiator is full?
When the engine is cold, check the level of the coolant in the reservoir. Make sure it's up to the mark on the side. Make sure you get the reservoir cap on tight.
Why does your radiator light in your 1995 dodge stealth stay on?
LOL, what that light is telling you is that the overflow reservoir is low on antifreeze, if it is full when you look at it and the light is still on, the sensor may be bad.
On older toyotas there is an orange light that has a rectangle filled with vertical lines you thought it represented a radiator but cannot find a problem with the radiator What does this light mean?
I have encountered this problem on an old Hiace. It required the reservoir bottle to be fulled.
1987 300d turbo Mercedes Benz and on the way to your house you hit a bump in the road and now antifreeze is leaking from the front and the coolant light want go off what is the problem?
Check the bottom of the radiator for damage. The coolant light will go on when the fluid level drops too low. Check the reservoir and add as necessary.
2001 impala coolant light comes on at idle?
turn the car off. let it cool. check the radiator cap and make sure the radiator is full with coolant. also add some to reservoir
A radiator light comes on with the Mercedes Benz 190?
Means your radiator (coolant) level is low (below the sensor in the tank--you can see it). Just keep the coolant above that and you'll be good.
Where is the coolant level sensor located on a 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass?
Don't know for sure but check in the radiator overflow. Tip: The radiator can be full but if the overflow is low or empty it will trigger the light.
Low antifreeze light is on but it is full. Running hot.?
Check that the coolant level is OK in the radiator itself, not just the reservoir. Sometimes the overflow system can become vapor locked and the system will not draw from the reservoir if it needs it. Do check: * Make sure the motor is cool! Don't do this at a gas station, do it at home after the car has been sitting for a few hours. If you don't heed this warning you will scald yourself. * Open the radiator cap. * If the radiator is not full of coolant, top it off. If it is empty you may want to do this check a few times, as there may be air in the system. Filling it up directly should remove the vapor lock and it should draw whatever else it needs from the reservoir.
