Fiero Low Coolant Indicator Addition
While browsing through the 87 Helms manual, I stumbled across the drawing of the instrument cluster on page 8C-8 (see picture). As you can see, Pontiac obviously planned to use the center right indicator light for a low coolant indicator. On cars without the voltmeter this indicator is used for the battery “idiot light”. But the GT had the voltmeter as standard from 86 on, so this light was no longer needed.
Curiously, the same “Low Coolant” indicator appears even in the 87 Owner’s manual! Check out the pictures on pages 2A-1, 2C-1 (Not in the magnification, but on the smaller view below), 2C-8, etc. It looks like they went ahead quite a bit and cancelled this feature late. Reason enough for me to check into this further.
