Subject:Re: the mysterious flash of the coolant light

Thanks for these suggestions.  My instrument cluster connector is a bit
suspect so I will examine that side of things.  Am I right that the coolant
tank level sensor can't make the light blink for just a few seconds, even
if the sensor is malfunctioning?  I.e., that even on a 1.9, the light would
have to blink for close to 20 seconds before turning off?
