Had a light that just came on,need to know what it means. I have the same problem on a 1995 Mercury Mystique. The symbol is shaped like a gift box with a tag on the top with what looks like the recycling "x" on it. It also looks like half a battery with just one post if that helps any.
That is the radiator light turn off vehicle open cap on radiator open the overflow bottle on the coolant reservoir put water/ coolant 50/50 pour som in the coolant over flow and in the radiator turn the car on let the radiator burp if you see a leak its the radiator needs replaceing if there is not a leak put more water/coolant in the radiator until its full/ put cap back on thats it/ Please rate my response Thank you very much

Thank you for your answer. I'm sorry it took so long for me to reply. I haven't seen any leaks and my overflow bottle has been at the full mark all along. I keep checking that. This time I think I'll put it right into the radiator itself & see if that helps. Now the light stays on for quite a while. Before it would just come on for 5-10 min. when I started the car. Thanks again.
