Coolant Level Sensor

If it's not one thing, it's another.

Almost got my V70 GLT back together from all it's work and my S70 T5 coolant light came on today. No blinking occasionally, just straight up on. Now, I was only about 1/4 mile from home and since I saw no smoke and noticed to temp change on the car, I finished going home. One good thing about snow on the ground, coolant leaks are easy to find.

Or are they? The expansion tank was full. No visible leaks anywhere on the system. Engine running at proper temp.

I'm assuming the coolant level sensor just went cabunk, but is there something else I could be missing that is associated with that light that wouldn't cause the temp to go up?

Nope, it's just gotten stuck or something. Rap on the bottom side of the coolant bottle with the plastic end of a screwdriver and see if you can free up the float; else stick it down in there and try to knock it loose.
