You mean the coolant light? if so just replace the sensor in your coolant tank, or make sure its connected, or check and make sure you have enough coolant. If the coolant sensor is missing the white floater on the end, then its time for a new one

do you mean this?

WOW!!! allways wondered what went in the last space of the check control panel!!!!!! now Im a little more E30 smart! sorry I dont help out but thats not a very common option on E30´s!

[bmwmotorrad]

yes, that is the light in the check control panel!

That is the coolest light i hve ever seen. All my cars have had either o2, srs or seatbelt lights.

BUT IM WILLING TO GUESS IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL TEMP SENSOR FOR THE GAUGE.
sorry for the CL.

[bmwmotorrad]

my e30 is a jap market '89 320i, probably why it is not common. fyiw, the temp gauge reading is normal.

Just pull the bulb out of the check panel for that one.

my temp sender is working very good i tried last night to replace the coolant sensor nothing happened it's really bugging me.i tried to search but no answer mine is a 320i jap market. help help

[ADEN]

any update? my fan switch was bad i replaced it but the light still there.but look at this pic of Japanese words i sent to a friend to translate if you guys can do it please tell me what it mean

[ADEN]

sorry

[bmwmotorrad]

ADEN, did you ever figure it out? One project has led to another and i still have not addressed the issue. My BMW ETM does not show this in the circuit as it is not a USA model.

[Court M3]

Too lazy to translate now, but I'll get the translation for you in the AM. PM so I don't forget.

[ADEN]

sorry motorad but since we open a talk on Japanese market bmws i have a lot to say about. the overheat drove me crazy i search the world replaced the coolant temp sensor and temp fan switch and it's still on.i'll try to replace the engine if it'll turn it off.
