About 2 minutes later ( if that ) it shut off. I checked the temputure levels in the dash and it was just as normal with the stick being just a hair above the middle line. I got to my destination which was less than 5 minutes away.

Popped the hood, checked the coolant levels: everything looked good. Didn't notice any leaking inside the engine bay either as I took a real good look through everything as I waited for the car to get cooler.

Since then the light has been out... I have not added coolant as I know its a special kind needed and I don't want to damage the engine by putting the wrong stuff in but I did notice a few days ago it turned on again when I drove on the highway, stayed on again for a couple of minutes, temp looked good, got off, re-checked coolant levels, looked to be the same amount in there, again no leaks.

I decided to jump on here and do research on "Coolant Light".

Read about the 50 amp fuse being a possible failure which could eventually mean that the fan motor is going out which mean's I would need to replace the fan and possibly the 50 amp fuse. It can also possibly be a Fan Module ( I believe?? ), which I read in threads that apparently its a Recall but I'm not too sure if its an actual recall or just a TSB, if its a recall I'd assume that would be replaced under the emissions warranty I think??

And another thing could be is that coolant could be getting into the Intercooler if one notices their coolant disappearing but in this case it stays in the overflow tank just fine so I think we can cross that one out.

Possible tests I've done recent based on reading of this problem which seems quite common actually:

I turned the car on, put the AC on full blast ( which by the way, no ac problems, my AC blows ICE COLD! ), immediately I checked to see if the fan was blowing and it did. I shut the AC off and the Fan did shut off. I DID notice a slight noise from the fan when it did turn on at first!! I figured I'd mention that but it DID turn on and stayed on when I put the AC at high setting.

I checked the 50 amp radiator fan fuse and it appears that its never been changed. I do not see any wrench markings on it.

I noticed people mentioning that the fans are known to go in 08/2010 like ticking time bombs ( read: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...tml#post518397 ) and I thought that was funny BECAUSE my car from reading history records on AutoCheck shows that my car was offically registered and on the road in 2006 and its one year later just happening to be same month too from when people said the fan would go lol.

Also, I figured I'd mention this but lately I have notice that when I drive on the highway, at times I feel like my IC Pump is starting to go because from time to come the Supercharger does not kick in once I hit the pedel, not all the time but sometimes I'll have to re-accelerate to get it to become a beast again, doesn't happen a lot but its noticable. Is it possible that coolant can be leaking from the IC pump? might need it to be replaced.

Coolant level is still at normal levels, light isn't permanently on, but comes on at random, not that often but its important to find out the culprit here!

Haven't added any coolant yet, wanted to get all of your input before I start messing with things!
