I swear my car is just crazy! Today leaving for work, the low coolant light came on. All after the oil pressure light fiasco, a completely different story,but it went off instantly. I stopped and checked it immediately, but it was full right to the line. All I can guess is a sensor of some sort, does anybody know exactly what this could be? Thanks!

Was it at the "full hot" line? After it cools make sure it's at the "full cold" line. I have an 03 and if it's like mine it's really sensitive.

There's a little floaty inside the reservoir, it sticks to the side of the tube and causes the Low Coolant light to stay 'on' even when the level is OK.

As Dreagon intimates, NEVER underestimate this lamp.
But once you discover the info isn't correct, get a medium-sized screwdriver, open the hood, and RAP the tube at the bottom of the reseroir wih the screwdriver handle.
This usually dislodges the stuck flaoty thing, the sensor shuts off and so does the light, and all is well again.

Good luck,
