You probably need a new low engine coolant level switch ! They go bad now an then ! Hopefully it's not the instrument interface module ! I'm not sure where it is , I know GM puts them on the radiator . Maybe somebody else on here mite know !

SOURCE: Coolant fill procedure

NEVER open the radiator when the car (or any other engine) is running!! The radiator is part of the pressurized cooling system (under that cap is coolant at 15psi)

Correct way to check the coolant in the radiator, is wait until the engine is COLD, then remove the radiator cap and re-fill.

My early wRning light for low radiator fluid comes on at the start turn on my ignition, but it goes away shortly after. I bought 50/50 and filled the coolant reservoir to the full line. But the light still...

The CHECK COOLANT indicator illuminates when the coolant level is low in the coolant recovery reservoir. The low coolant level switch is probably in or on the coolant reservoir !

1998 Mystique wont start, ignition turns over but acts like it's not getting gas.

Does the check engine light go OUT while cranking? If not , if it stays ON, you've got a bad crankshaft position sensor. These can fail with intermittent no starts. So just when you have it towed it, it'll start working again. Check engine light is supposed to go OUT if it's getting good signal from the sensor.

1995 Mercury Mystique Raditor Resorer light is on but is full. Sensor not working. How to test?

Are you sure that the light that is on is for the Reservoir and not for the radiator itself? Your light might be indicating that the radiator is out of water or overheating. Or is it just simply the light for your windshield washer fluid and you might be looking at the wrong reservoir under the hood. You might try unplugging the sensor to see if a change of state effects the dash light. then plug it back in and check it. Good Luck!!

Where do you put water in a 1996 mercury mystique. I can't tell where the radiator is. I only see the coolant container

If you fill up the coolant container it will get into the radiator if it is low. If your radiator is completely empty remove the highest hose on the engine and fill through the top of the motor. Otherwise the coolant container is the only place to add coolant. Hope that helps!

Steam coming from engine

hi,
how far away is the repairman? if its less than 2 miles then go ahead. fill up the coolant reservoir AND the radiator locate the radiator cap and fill it too. I dont recommend doing it if you cant fill up the radiator. go early in the morning before it gets hot. if it starts to boil shut it off at the lights. take extra water with you and a rag or gloves and of course the phone. good luck
