I've been driving MZ Magic (91 camper) without any problems...

Friday after running the A/C full blast for 2 hours an dgoing about 65...we dropped donw to about 55 and the temp light started blinking...

checked fluid level...no problem...

Anyway drove about 15 minutes with it blinking

No problem Saturday...only drove it for about 20 minutes...

Then Sunday on the way home...about 1 hour into the trip...we dropped again from steady 65 to 55 and the temp light was blinking...
Drove for about 35 miles without a problem...with it blinking the whole way...(yes..risky..but did it)

Now on both trips the temp needle was barely midway...occassionnally "splitting" the red blinking light...but moving a little indicating the temperature was
being checked and seemed fine...

Any ideas?

Seems like the sudden drop in engine speed may have set off the blinking light...
