Flashing warning light above 250 temp reading

[pteam]

QUOTE=maxferran]Was the fuse just black on one end, or was the inside broken? That could have been sparked a while back.

When you leave the car running for 10 minutes how hot does the temp. make it? I had air in my cooling system and the light flashed as soon as it came on. Also, the temp. got hot fast while driving. I made it to a mechanic 5 minutes away and I was just making it to the 2/3 mark on the temp. gauge.

My culprit was a thermostat.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the reply.

The fuse was not broken on the inside, but was really burnt on the one side. I put in a new fuse anyways.

I have not run the car for 10 minutes only 2-3 mintes. I will drive the car here in about an hour for 20 minutes and try to get home, mostly 50+ mph zones which should keep the car cooler as the air coming into the front will be coming in at 50+ mph.

Hopefully I'll make it! Theres no way I can get a tow with a flat bed at this time of night and way out in the middle of no where.
