daniel mason - 4/5/13 at 05:36 PM

hi all,had the cam belt done on the violvo s60 d5 yesterday. picked the car up last night to find the low coolant level warning light on the dash,
got the car home and checked the levels which are all fine,checked wiring was all ok and it was,but the warning light is on the dash still and i cant get it to go!
weve also checked the header tank float which is ok. any ideas how to reset the dash!

Any chance two connectors have got mixed up ?

connectors are ok. but the strange thing is that when i picked the car up the clock had also gone off,so i went back today and they said they never removed the battery connections?
seems like electrical gremlins. i will try to disconnect the battery and see what happens tomorrow

Did a cambelt and didn't disconnect the battery! Mechanics 101 always remove battery when doing a cam belt as it stops twits starting it without the belt by accident.
