The red coolant light came on yesterday but the gauge registered normal, the temp was OK and there was plenty of fluid in the jug and the overflow. Same problem occurred last summer for a short while then went away. Decided to trace cause if possible. While checking wiring continuity, found fault in the ground circuit. Cleaned both sets of ground connections on left side of engine compartment and the light seems to be working correctly now. Only time will tell if the problem is solved but it was a very simple fix. Fix may also help other circuits in the eng compartment so I'll drink a toast to clean ground connections and hope for the best.
