It should come on when you power up and go out when the alternator starts putting out. If it's the warning light from the EM2, it should start flashing when anything goes out of it's range, and that's practically all the time when you're fist setting it up. If It's not coming on at all it sounds like something isn't hooked up right. On your water pressure, it should come up to cap pressure at the most. Do you have an air cushion in your system. If not, the pressure will go pretty high because of liquid expansion until a little liquid is pushed into the overflow tank. 23 psi isn't going to hurt the engine, but the EM2 calibration needs to be checked also. I was able to rent a cooling system pressure tester from AutoZone which helped with the calibration. Bob W.
