wtf does this light mean. my car seemed like it was running hot so i did a radiator flush on it at work and a few days later this light started to pop on and off randomly.

That's the coolant level warning light. It comes on when the coolant in the reservoir tank drops below the minimum level mark

Or that it was his birdcage light… And that his bird got out and needs to be found.

While you are at it, what is the light that looks like a tea kettle with a drip coming out of the spout? Just above the oil pressure. Tea time anyone? LOL

The genie used to live in the cage, but when it got moved to the lamp, Nissan installed a bird in the cage rather than just remove the cage. Re-purposing parts is where Nissan excels.

my issue is that the coolant is full. I used the machine that sucks everything out and collapses the hoses and then pressurizes the entire system back up and this light still comes on when I hit bumps.
reddzx: (2013-09-17 04:04:07)
you have a bad sensor in the tank
LA KINGS: (2013-09-17 04:22:15)
oh good thing its not my birdcage
reddzx: (2013-09-17 15:04:00)
The birdcage represents the coolant overflow tank, pull it, clean the sensor and replace it if it continues to indicate low coolant.
How hard is that to understand?

If you pull the glovebox out and behind it does not look like this:
Then you need to repair it. Replacement birds can be acquired from your local Jack's (You can still get these from the dealer, but they will kill you on shipping) and you need to wire it shut. You can use zip ties to repair your cage, but keep in mind some birds can chew through the ties, and will escape again. Also if you hear a flapping noise when you turn on your air/heat, you should probably pull your blower motor and remove the remaining parts of your OEM bird. Make sure when you put the glovebox back, that you do not pinch the cage between it and the firewall, this can cause for warping of the cage and if the sides do not align your bird can escape again.
All that said, if you pull your glovebox and your bird is there and happy, you need to check the wiring your birdcage sensor, before replacing, because most parts techs will have a bitch of a time locating a new one. Somewhere on these forums there is a part number for it, but I do not have it easily accessible.
