Question Temp light

I've got a question. There is another post on here about the blue temp light.

My temp light will stay on for a bit like usual when I first start the car until it warms up then will go off. Sometimes it'll come back on and stay on until I turn on/off the fan settings for the heater/cooler. Other times messing with the fan won't do anything and it'll eventually go away.

My coolant level appears ok, but it may be time to change the coolant anyway.

Has anybody had a similar issue. I'm wondering if it may be an electrical problem or if it's time to swap out sensors.

Let me have your thoughts. Let me see if they are tasty enough!

I'd guess sensor. It's inexpensive, and easy to change. So even if it's not the sensor, you haven't wasted too much time/money. Make sure to replace the o-ring as well, and do it with the engine stone cold and you won't lose any coolant.
