Re: purchasing my srt6 yet another hiccup

Also---This light is not only LOW COOLANT but cooling system problem (double duty)---A BAD fan which will have the temp increase will trip this light. Techs will misdiagnose this car all the time. Not enough time working on them due to the fact not that many made of them. The fuse I'm talking about is the outside one in the group of three---one 200amp & two 50 amps---Check it first---Next question is why it blew. I bought and sold cars this is why I had six XFs. When I replaced the fuse all was fine for 1000s of miles in both cars, so I never saw any other problems. I am still in touch with one of the owners of one of the cars and he still has had nothing else cooling system related---so no answer on why. MAKE then replace the fan not just the fuse---OVER 50 amps were pulled for SOME reason---Maybe overkill but NOW is the time---The dealer will not help in 6 months---Jimmy
