weird warning light on gauges I have never seen before!
Hello, I have a strange warning light I have never seen before. It came up after starting the car, which sat for about 5 hours. I didn't have a problem before, and all the fluids are fine as far as I can tell. It is up and to the right from the fasten seatbelt warning light. it is a square outlined, with a small bump on the top center (sorta like the shape of a canteen), it has an arrow inside the figure pointing down to what looks to be water that fills the bottom portion of the square. Sorry for the strange description, but I don't know how to attach the pic to insert into the forum.
Please help me asap!!!
thanks for anything!

Don't know the year of your car, but this should help.

If I remember correctly, removing the battery gives you the necessary room. Just drop the coolant level by a couple of inches - then R&R the sensor. It is held in place by a wire clip that you pry off - careful you don't lose it when you pry it off.
Make sure the new sensor is fully seated and clip secure - I have read stories of the sensor falling off and the result is a mess.
Fill and bleed the system.
