Washer fluid low...warning light.

[tavo80816]

since just a few weeks ago, everytime I turn on the car, I get the warning light: "WASHER FLUID LOW". I have checked the fluid and its all the way to the top...the pumps work because I have sprayed the windshield a few times.

So might the sensor be bad?

I jacked up the car, removed the tire and checked the reservoir and there are 3 things attached to it...looks like the biger ones are the pumps and the small one is the sensor?

Any ideas?

sensor is in the middle if you have headlight washers

so the sensor is bad?

[Edwin NL]

could be hard to judge from here!

Silly question maybe, but can we just use any washer fluid available?

[Edwin NL]

yep as long as it cleans the window ;-)

so after getting annoyed for over 2 months now with the Washer Fluid Low warning, I finally bought a new sensor and guess what??? I STILL HAVE THE WARNING LIGHT ON....that thing is annoying. Anyways I checked the fuses to make sure they were all good....

1. does anyone out there know what else I should check. btw the reservoir is full with fluid.
2. can it be coded off?

If its full and sensor is new..I would guess wiring or connector.

[Edwin NL]

wiring of connector

And yes can be coded off ;-0

Here is the NCS code to turn it off
