Re: 97 bonne dash

The coolant light is most likely due to Dex-cool and it's magical sludging properties. Sludge has gotten on your coolant level sensor and is causing it to give a false reading. As long as your coolant isn't mysteriously disappearing, you're fine. If you're slowly losing coolant, you may have the infamous upeer intake leak. The oil pressure guage is most likely a bad sensor in the engine, fairly common on these cars.
