[blk47]

Help i have a arctic cat t660 non turbo its 2004 with only 1000 miles .when i start it the temp light comes on and stays on ,all i did was change oil and battery .i know it sounds stupid but it did'nt come one before .is there a sensor that could be bad ?if so where would it be (by the thermostat?).would it hurt to ride it ? any advice would be helpful thanks

First thing I would check would be the antifreeze level, maybe over the summer you lost a little fluid, my light on my 06 660 would come on if it was a little low.

There is no coolant level, just temperature warning. I assume the light is on even when the engine is cool? Sensor is located on front side of thermostat housing above belt guard, 3 wires. One is input, one goes to ECM and one to temp display. You need to check the yellow/blue wire for damage/short to ground.

yes the temp light is on even when the engine first starts up and dont go off ,i will check the coolant level and check the wire thanks guys
