Re: idiots lights?
yeah. but i dont have an owners manual. its the symbol of a box with a + in it and what looks like a flag pole with two wavey lines coming off it. its on a 94 SL1. a buddy of mine told me its a temp light. but everything seems fine. the light only blinked and he said not to worry about it.

Re: idiots lights?
on the S-series a BLINKING low coolant/temp light is a sign of a possible bad ECT due to some funky programing in the PCM i don't understand

Re: idiots lights?
How long ago did you replace it, and did it have a metal or plastic tip?

Re: idiots lights?
The plastic tipped ones are known to fail prematurely. Did you replace the one with 2 wires, 1 wire, or both?

Re: idiots lights?
Go ahead and pull the 1 wire sensor, see if its plastic tipped, if so replace it.
