Welcome.
Call the Ghost Busters :|
That thing over the radio that you speak of, is the DIC (Driver Information Center)
You wont find shocks on your car, but you will find Struts, which is a shock and spring intigrated into one.
As for your coolant light...I have a 97 also (and a 98) but the coolant light on the 97 will come on time to time. Pop the hood, and give the sensor on the coolant overflow tank a smack, the light goes out. Its likely that your coolant level sensor in the recovery (or overflow as sometimes called) is bad.
