For all of you working on CAIs or anything else close to the Washer container, here is something that happened to me.

When I completed my installation of my CAI, my Windshield Washer light would stay on most of the time. I kept using it and checking it for fluid levels to no avail.

I found I had inadvertantly twisted the sender about 90 degrees. It has a float valve inside to check fluid level and since it was sideways, it read empty most of the time. A simple twist back to its original position and all is well.

 

this is deffinately something to remember.

thanks for the tip[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

Interesting. I bet it drove you nuts until you found out what was wrong.

 

True - drove me crazy! Just yesterday the "Lamp Out" light started go on and off and a little ding every time it happened. Luckily tomorrow is Saturday and I'll spend some time checking what the heck is going on.

BTW - I noticed a tail light was out this last week. When I was checking it out, I noticed both bulbs were off. I took off the cover and the bulbs were in fine shape. I blew out the connection and put it back together and it worked fine. Anyone else having this happening?

 

Oops. Good find.

 

Jeff17, A good tip is to be sure to smear some electrical grease in the socket (a little goes a long ways) after it has been cleaned out to keep from what you mentioned from happening again. It's always the little things...
