Dashboard cooling light (yellow picture of water in a "can") comes on faintly then gets brighter as i drive but never fully bright. I live in California in a cool climate..Palos Verdes on the ocean. Indicator doesn't register abnormal high tempersture...around 80 of
120...where it has always been. I feel if I drove it longer i might have a problem. But 10 miles it should be fully heated or overheated...correct? Car works fine..I don't drive it over 10 miles before I stop. There is water in the well that I can see when I take the cap off (I wait till its cool) ...I ovefilled it a bit to see if that would help...good move? Thanks for anything you can help me with. I plan to bring it to a mechanic but I'd like your input first so I sound somewhat knowledgeable. Again, thanks in advance! Frank Does the light come on if it is overheating or if the water is low?- posted
