Coolant Level message won't go away...
About six weeks ago I replaced the radiator on my wife's '95 525. While I was at it I replaced the hoses and belts. I have refilled it and bled the system, but the "Coolant Level" message comes on whenever you start the car. It never overheats and the actual coolant level in the tank has stayed very consistant. I've checked the wires and re-bled the system sevaral times but still get the warning message.
Anyone have any ideas about this?
Its the level sensor... One of my customers has one that I replace
about once a year... I've gotten 2 for it in the last couple of years from Patrick at bma.

Is that the one at the bottom of the tank or the one on the side?

Sorry, the one on the side is the temperature controlled electric fan switch, the
coolant temp sensor is on the engine

Thank you, I'll get a replacement.
