It used to come on when I first started the car. Now it comes on and stays on until about 1-5 minutes after driveing. Anyone got any idea what the light means and/or what could be going on? - Mark '98 SVT E0 Silver -TRENDWHORE! Selling out never felt so good!

That would be the coolant/radiator light; these cars are notorious for having an over-sensitive coolant light, thats probably your issue. Fill it up to a little above the max line with the proper mix of coolant. Should take care of it. 1998 Mystique LS: -2.5 Duratec ATX -Vibrant White -------------------- =Pics= =Info=
