If the reservoir is full of coolant, and the light is on? It is very common for the low coolant sensor to stick. Try tapping on the reservoir, this will (sometimes) free up the float, turning out the light. Sometimes you have to tap pretty hard, don't break it, remember it's made of plastic :) Help this helps, TJ

Water leaking near top of engine 3.8 Buick Regal LS ?

Wipe any coolant off your engine make sure there is coolant in the car. Run engine for a bit. shut off engine and look for wet spot. Before this see if there are any cracks in rubber hoses or they are loose. It could be a thermostat gasket or warped housing to. Its hard to say without seeing it.

My low coolant light flashes on and off then it will stay on.I have checked my coolant level it is good what could be the problem? 1999 Buick regal

Make sure you are checking the coolant level in the radiator as well as in the overflow tank. The sensor is located in the radiator, so if the level in the overflow tank is good, it could still be low in the radiator.

1990 Regal Coupe 3.1 engine. Low Coolant Light Stays Lit

This is a COMMON Problem that GM had with the Level Sensor Curciut, And they Never Correctly Addressed it. I Have on ocations Replaced the Sensor and that Corrected the Problem, BUT Other times the Light STAYS ON No matter What, I have tracked the Wires and all I Have Ever Found was the Plug Being FAULTY. So if A NEW Coolant LEVEL SENSOR Does NOT Turn off the Light, try Replacing the PLUG Itself.

Low Coolant light flashing on 1996 Buick Regal 3.8

The low coolant sensor should be located in the passenger side radiator tank, You need to take it out and clean the sludge off of it for it to work right. Or you can just unplug it and forget about it, the light will go out and it won't cause any problems.
