Open your hood and look at the coolant tank. Not too hard to do. Or look up the light in the manual.

Default nice reading jacka s

my thread clearly states I have no manual. I was asking on here, because I don't have a manual. How am I supposed to know what the light means if I have no manual? Thank you.

Again, open your hood and look. It will tell all.

Default show some respect bro...

be more clear also. "manual" to many of us means repair manual! You might be talking about the owners manual that comes in the glovebox? He didn't rip on you at all. And he is correct...open the damn hood and look at your fluid levels if you are so sure it is a problem like that! We are not paid to give you help or suggestions. If you are friendly..you may get help if someone feels like being helpful. I have the answer to your question..but I will not answer you because so far you have proven to be the super noob!
