I had to run to the local auto parts to find some new o rings. I finally put it all back did the test and it held the vacuum so I refilled the system. Now my temperature light won't stop flashing. The tank is a little over filled right now is it possible that the light would flash if you overfill? What could the cause be the sensor was fine in the old tank.
Four functions of the coolant warning light:

1. Engine coolant level too low
— light flashes slowly (0.5 Hz)
2. Engine compartment temperature too high
— light flashes slowly (0.5 Hz) (engine compartment blower might be faulty)
3. Engine coolant temperature too high
— light is lit; pointer on the right
4. Temperature sensor at water outlet faulty
— light flashes rapidly (1 Hz); pointer on the right

Note
The temperature warning in point three is indicated if the conditions "engine coolant temperature too high" and "engine coolant level too low" are present simultaneously
(1Hz = 1 flash per second. 0.5Hz = 2 seconds per flash)
