low washer fluid warning light won't go off
I have washer fluid warning light today.. and i add the washer fluid in there .. but the light still on .. it didn't go off. i even went drive away and add a little bit more in again.. but it's still on
do you know how to deactivate the warning light ? please ~ thank you |
Did you try to fill the tank? Has this ever happened before?
|
Did you totally fill it? If so bring it by your dealership. Could be the sending unit on the tank gone bad or just needs to be cleaned or something.
|
yes
i refill all the to the top .. the light still on ...
|
has it every happen before
nope .. this is the first time it happen ....
|
Its just a float with a magnet on it, when the magnet hits the bottom, the light goes on, and when its got fuild the float moves up about a 1" from the bottom and doesnt trigger the light. Sometimes it gets stuck at the bottom despite being filled. Hit the container it may work, Or the magnet came off the float
I only fill mine about a 1/4 full the keep the light off cause I never use the washer, only in hard corner will the fuild swash and cause the light to come on |
i was trying to see if i can reach the bottom of the bottle.. but it seem hard to check.. i don't know what to do with it ...it is hard to reach the container ..

And? Did disconnecting the battery work? Were you ever able to get the warning light off?

I had the same problem. Resevoir was full but light was on. I tried drving the car, tapping the resevoir at the top under the hood, all to no avail. Finally, I took off the small plastic shield underneath the car that covers the tank and senor. I gently tapped several times on the bottom of the resevoir with a hammer and that loosened the stuck magnet. No more light! Saved me the hassle of buying a new sensor and the mess of having to install it. I hope this helps someone.
