I hate when warning lights are on so the wiper fluid light is particularly annoying.

I checked all of the windsheild wiper fluid and it's full.
Checked all wires and they seem to fine and connected.

Does anyone have a simple fix or will it need a new sensor? ( If so I'll probably just scrap all the wiring and the resevoir and pop the light out of the warning indicator)

Has anyone had this problem or have a fix first? Annoying me

 

The sensor might be stuck in the low position thus the warning light stays on. The light that comes on turns on due to a ground signal being sent from the sensor in the bottom of the resevoir to the warning bulb. So, the easiest fix would be to remove the bulb while the hardest fix would be to replace or unstick the low level warning sensor. To do this you have to remove the wheel and fender shield to gain access to the bottom of the fluid tank. The Green wire at the sensor is responsible for sending the ground signal to the warning bulb. The Black wire is the ground. When the sensor closes, low reading, the Black wire ground passes on to the Green wire and on comes the light.

 

doesnt matter if its full it sloshes forward when you brake hard and comes on. mines does it. it dangerously close in location and color to the brake light and it always catches my peripheral vision. it is a bit annoying.

maybe... just short the sensor.

 

That container is a Pain in the Keester to get at,as Satch said.
If you do not mind about wiring,then I would think that you can just clip the wire to the sensor.If you Put a bullet connector on each side of the wire.When you get around it replacing the jug you can connect the wire back up.

 

Brilliant! I actually have the fenders off at the moment and can get to the tank pretty easily. I'm gonna throw it on a lift Sunday and see if I can unstick the sensor with some parts cleaner and if not I'll just snip the wires to stop the circuit. Excellent info. and descrption of how it works. Thanks

 

Unfortunatley I believe the sensor is stuck down; it starts buzzing from the moment you turn it on. Plus the coolant seals are blown so she isn't driving haha

 

The washer fluid light is just that as it is not related to any audible buzzer. The buzzer is for low oil, low coolant or the engine rpm is too high.

 

Didn't mean to say buzz (that's from the coolant seals being ruptured.) I meant that the washer fluid light flicks on right from when the key is turned to "on". Sorry for mixing the two up like that.

 

If you don't use the washer fluid tank, the easiest (and least destructive) solution is to unplug the connector running down to the tank. It can be accessed near the airbox/AFM. The pump mounted on the tank will be disconnected if this is done, so you'll no longer get washer fluid to spray.
