Windshield Washer Low Fluid Light Acting Wonky?






Is the dashboard low-washer-fluid light staying on even though you filled the tank all the way up to the very top? You may have a dirty or failed fluid level sensor.

The sensor is mounted to the top of the tank located inside the left front quarter panel. At first glance, it looks as though getting to it will be a big job. Turns out it is quite easy. Its mounting screws are located behind the front wheel well liner and also behind the slide-out headlamp pod. Once the screws are removed and the filler and pump connections detached it just slides right out exposing the fill sensor for removal. 

Turns out the sensor is expensive at over $100 US so I would inspect, clean, and test the old one first to see if it can be salvaged and reused before buying a replacement.
