Not being a smartass but have you verified that you have the required amount coolant in the overflow tank?

You rock!!!!

Of course, I know how to maintain my car....I am pretty well mechanically inclined, so my car is defiantely well maintained, especially fluid levels

welll i believe it is resolved, it is the sensor. I check all the fluid last night, then unplugged the sensor....drove it last night and today, no light whatsoever. So i checked everything again, and it was right on, plugged it back in and the light came back on.

PRoblem solved guys and girls thanks so much for your help!!!

Hmm thats funny, when I did my PI heads/cam/intake swap on my 96 I forgot to plug the coolant level sending switch back up. This caused my check fluid level light to stay on. I plugged it back up and the light went off. It's weird that your light stays off with it unplugged. Hmm...
