Low Coolant Light... But There's Plenty of Coolant
Ever since I bought my truck I've had this problem. The low coolant light comes on sometimes but there is always plenty of coolant in the system. It pretty much only comes on when the truck is fully warmed up and when I've been sitting idling for more than a minute or two, like at a stop light. It only does it every now and then, like maybe every 30-40 miles I'm guessing. It eventually turns off. Could this just be a bad sensor? Anyone had this problem? Is the coolant level sensor in the resevoir or the radiator? Thanks!

Mine did it twice in the last 3-4 months, turned my truck off and started it back up both times and the light was gone, I also found this odd
