Coolant level light V70-XC70 2000

Hello all,
Today I changed the timing belt on my 2000 v70, and while doing so, I lifted the coolant reservoir tank up and out of it's bracket to access the belt. I unplugged the small probe from under the coolant reservoir to put the tank out of the way to make the belt change.
When the job was complete and everything put back in it's place, the coolant level light came on and has not gone off. It is the first time the light has come on, and I suspect it has something to do w/ disconnecting the probe or lifting the reservoir out of it's bracket. The coolant level is where it should be.
I can live w/ the check engine light; but not the coolant level light as well. Any help troubleshooting is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, John

    Remove the cap and jiggle the float up and down with a screwdriver. It might have gotten stuck when you had the reservior set aside.

      Bob,
      I tried loosening the float as you said but that did not seem to do the trick. I emptied the tank to see how he float actually moved and noticed it did move up as I started to put the coolant back in. However, it went up to a certain point and the fliud filled over top of it. Is the probe that is inserted under the tank a temperature probe or a level indicator. Maybe that is malfunctioning. I'm about ready to throw in the towel w/ this car. Any more suggestions? Thanks, John
