Sounds like the float on the sensor in the header tank has packed it in.

Its in the side of the coolant tank.
On the side of the plastic tank will be a round protrusion with two wires coming out of it, this is the coolant sensor. It screws out but I think you need a special tool to undo it as they can be very tight. If your coolant tank is dirty it may be easier to freshen it up with a new tank and sender. They are on e-bay for $90. |

Its the Radiator with fan inside warning light, I'm pretty sure it is the low water, although has plenty of water, and EB V8 has no switch in header tank, so where is the switch? I have an ED 6 too with no switch in header tank, must be a switch somewhere, need to know soon, any help??
