Took it for a test drive and It was working good then 10 min into the test drive it did it again. anyone have any ideas what it causing this? Also my coolent light is on in the dash.. It did this b4 so I added coolent pass the max line it always fixed this problem but now I cant get it to go off. does Could my switch have gone bad.

It means the computer sees a problem and wants service. . . . Two zetec Contours, two blown head gaskets... for some reason I have a Japanese car now. anybody in California want a Diehard Gold 100 month battery? inquire by PM.

Coolant light can be one of 4 things... Low Coolant WEAK Coolant Corrosion build up on sensor terminals (exposed to coolant) Bad coolant sensor The Coolant level sensor also measures the specific gravity of the coolant. If you coolant is old or weak, it will also make the light come on. Pete... 2004 Mercury Marauder 300A Black Clearcoat/Dark Charcoal LEATHER DOB 10/31/2003 DOP 1/2/2004 www.mercurymarauder.net
