radiator light going off

[spud814]

Hi, I drive a 1989 BMW 325I automatic, and lately my radiator light have been going off for no aparent reason. Sometimes it goes on right when I turn on the car, sometimes it doesn't come on at all, but most of the time it goes off after 10-15 minutes of driving. I checked the radiator fluid, and the level was fine.

Another problem is the obc on the center console. The clock keeps going to temperature everytime i turn on the car, and it reads -22 F all the time. I don't really know why, and although it's not that big of a deal it's quite annouying. Thanks for all your help.

Most likely your coolant level sensor is going out. You can disconnect it and then run a piece of wire to both connector, compleating the circuit, this will shut the light off.

The OBC switchs to temp on start anytime is 36*f or lower to warn you of black ice. Your temp sensor might be un pluged missing or your wires are shorting some where. Look for the sensor in your front brake ducts.
