Low Coolant Light does not flash on key on?
I have another question on my 1996 Coupe that I just bought 2 days ago. I notice that the "Low Coolant" light does not come on briefly when key on (as the others do). Is there a way of checking the bulb or replacing it?

That bulb is not tested during the bulb test.
The low coolant switch is located on the bottom of the coolant
reservior tank. That's the black plastic tank with the radiator
cap on the passenger side by the blower motor.
Unplug the two pin connector on the bottom of the reservoir
and short the two wires together. The Yellow/Black wire
goes to the bulb and the Black wire is ground.
Turn the ignition On and the bulb should light. If it doesn't
with a meter you should measure 12 volts on the Yellow/Black
wire to the Black wire or any ground. No 12 volts would indicate
the bulb is probably burnt out. If there is 12 volts and the bulb
doesn't light that would indicate a problem with the Black wire
which should be grounded all the time.
