Default Windshield Washer Fluid Light

My windshield washer fluid light indicator keeps coming on even after i filled the dispensor full of fluid. I filled it up and ran some fluid through the wipers to see if that would clear the tubes.

IDK about the price of the sensor but agree it likely needs to be replaced. Let us know it the issue returns

Default washer light same problem

My washer light is on also, I cnanged the sensor and its still on. I was going to just put a 5 amp fuse in there to complete the circuit but it does not fit. Does anyone have any ideas for me to try. It is very anoying. thanx

Try a 100 Ohm 1/4watt resistor. Or something close and RTV it up.

I completed the circuit, by passing the sensor and light still coms on.This is driving me crazy. Anyone have any ideas? 100 ohm 1/4 watt resistor, where can I get that. It does not come on immediately, Takes about 30 seconds.

Let me read the resistance of my sensor when tank is full. It might be higher like 380-480 Ohms to shut the light off.

Default washer light

Hi Guys, today I actually timed how long it takes for the washer warning light to come on. Between 92 seconds and 101 seconds so I think its trying. I have traced the wires as far as I can. Is there a sending unit for that? the diagram I have does not show one. thanx
