Electrical Problems On Mk1 98 Galaxy

[cooke1100]

Hi all,

 

Can anyone help me with electrical problem on my mk1 98 reg ford galaxy 2.3 ghia x auto.

Ok well today i set off to work and noticed my abs light was on constant with engine running and with just ign on.

Coming back from work the abs light came on as normal the went off as normal so yay i think thats sorted itself out for now, but further traveling on my way home a red light started flashing on my temperature gauge but the temp needle stayed within normal and this wont go off.

Could this be the start to some major electrical problems or is it just a few little bugs due to the weather.

Please someone help me.

 

P.s i think this is posted in the right section but if not i appologise now

This is signalling low water level in the expansion tank......or a faulty connection to the sensor in the tank.....make sure its plugged in properly.

the red flashing lights definetly low water level. u might have a water leak somewhere, i did.

as for the abs light one of your sensors will be on its way out and need changing. make sure u go to vw for the part though as its about 20 pounds cheaper than at ford; unless anyone on here knows of an even cheaper alternative......
