I talked to a dodge mech. today, He said its common,however he told me to unhook the battery and wait a minute or so for it to reset and hook it back up. well it did not help me but maybe it will help someone else. If you here anything let me know. thanx

Yeah, it's near the pump at the bottom of the tank

You will be pouring fluid all over when it's removed. Just incase you werent aware!

My light has been on since I had the 3" BL installed a bunch of years ago. I think a wire was just too short after the height increase. I just kind of forgot about it and glance at the reservoir each time I check my oil or if I know I've been going through it with crappy weather.

I have had this issue as well, I noticed that is happening due to the cold. I am in the Cincinnati area we have had a long stretch of cold weather, it seems to come on, on days below 20 degrees, have had a few days in the mid 20's and above and no low W.W. Fluid light on.??. Fluid still flowing as it should when the light is on, I just figured the sensor was freezing up on the colder days. IDK, just thought I'd add my two cents worth.

Default Washer light

Did anyone use Rainx washer fluid. I just found out that Rainx washer fluid should not be use in my 2013 Ran because it costs the senser and makes the washer light come on. I was told this by my Dodge Dealer.

I know this is an old thread but was wondering if anyone has a fix for this. I replaced the sensor and the light still came on. I checked the resistance of the new sensor and the old and both showed the same value. I drained the reservoir and flushed with city water. Refilled with city water,,, same result. I took the sensor and placed a jumper between the two probes; still had the light. Even checked the wires coming out of the connector to make sure the connector was good. It checked good. I tried to follow the wires back but that was a waste of time. Looks like the front end of the car would need to be removed just to see where they go!! I wish I knew where they terminated so I could check to see if one of the wires is open. I did check each wire to ground and one showed continuity. Found that unusual beings it is just sending a resistive value back to the (PCM)?? , more than likely just feedback from something else. And as far as removing a battery cable, which one? My 21 Durango has two batteries. Also, could the warning indicator be cleared using a ODB decoder?? Anyways, any help is appreciated..
