Newbie with warning buzzer sounding

[Scott]

Steve, Congratulations on your new coach. We also have a FC and love
it...Between Jeff and Gary you prolly got the most accumulative
knowledge of BB out there today.. They can put you on the money
with "issues" that crop up. Did the engine coolant light come on when
you got the buzzer? If you have low coolant but engine temp ok
sometimes when going over bumps it will sound..I know from
experiance.. you might want to check the coolant level just a
thought.
