Two Electrical Problems... Any Help?

[westies14]

When it started to get cold this fall (which may be a coincidence), my '92 SC400 started displaying a little yellow radiator-shaped light in the top left of my console a few seconds after the car started. After a minute or so, it will go away.

Yesterday, in the middle of a drive, my right-turn signal started to blink about twice as fast as it should. I'd used it to switch lanes 5 minutes earlier and it went the right speed.

What could cause these problems? How can I fix them?

Thanks for your help!

The fast blinking turn signal usually means you have a blown turn signal bulb in either the front or rear. Just turn the signal on and walk around the vehicle and look for the blown bulb. Check your coolant level. That light usually comes on when the fluid is low.

Thanks for the tips. I've checked the coolant, but not the bulbs. Are they easy to replace, should I find one out?
