I have 1995 LS 400(170000 miles) that has chirp/beep every 5 seconds after I turn ignition ON. There is a yellow/orange light ON next to the H of the temperature indicator. How do I stop the chirp?
Thanx

Your car is overheating, sir. (or that is likely). You are probably running out of coolant, possibly need to replace your radiator with a working one as there is not enough pressure in the system to supply the engine.

That's my guess.

a car with 170K needs a new radiator in any case, they don't last forever, and are cheap and easy to install yourself!

and a new one will save you from spending $2000 to replace a warped head or other overheating related issue in the future!
