car overheated tonight, anyone ever have problems with that, im guessing maybe my thermostat got stuck closed, my overflow tank was completely filled, and one ever experienced this, please help. And also what is that orange light to the left with the fan inside the jar looking thing, that comes on alot?

I think that light is supposed to be a fan in front of a raditor. As far as the overheating it sounds like the waterpump. If you looking for a dealership I've got 2 things for you, one go to Jerome-Duncan and stay away from Russ Milne. Good luck with your car and keep us informed on it.

SInce you have a 98 I'll bet you have the waterpumpwentsouth syndrome laugh The Contour's res. tank sensor isn't quite adjusted correctly for the maximum line. The res. needs to be filled about a half to one inch above max. to keep the radiator light off.
