My light is always on, i have fluid in the tank but it stays on no matter what. I cleaned the contacts and checked all the wiring and all but no luck turning it off. I even tried using a wire to just short circuit the connection but still no luck. How can i turn the light off but still have the washer fluid work?

Remove the cluster and pull the bulb.

Turn the key to the "ON" postion and count the location of the "Washer Bulb"
Remember it when you pull it.

Removal

1. Remove the steering wheel.
2. Remove the 4-5 screws that hold the cluster in place.
2a. Becareful of the 2 at the top as their hard and you might strip them. Make sure you use a good #2 philip.
3. There should be about 2-4 screws that hold the actual cluster, remove those.

Heres the tricky part.

The easiest way I've found to remove the cluster is to:

1. When all the screws that hold the cluster are removed. Wiggle the cluster. To make sure you got all the screws.
2. Then slide the whole cluster to the left.
3. Then pull out the right side first slowly.
4. Reach back and remove the harnesses. Remember to press the clip as you pull. CAREFULLY
5. Count the bulbs at the bottom and remove the one for the "Washer Fluid".
6. You can just remove the bulb and twist back the "holder".

Re-Install

Reverse.

Good Luck

replace the float in the washer tank, it's probably sunk to the bottom . remove it drain it patch .the hole and re install

Replacing the sensor is probably the less labour intensive choice.

It is just a float switch.

I had a leakey fluid resivoir so I replaced it, and to replace it you need to remove the sensor. It ust pops out of the hole it is in. The sensor it's self is in a gasket. That gasket is what is inside the hole. All in all like a 5-10 min job. quite easy.

No need to pull the inside of the car all appart.

I just unplug my low level sensor from the bottle whenever it annoys me and it works fine.
remove the wire you used to jumper the connecter and you should be fine

Or that works too

Here is a silly question. I noticed you have a GSL. Did you check to see if the rear washer bag is full? I will show up on the dash also.

Well it seems you learn something new every day.

I did not know that the Rear Whiper resivour had a sensor too...

Coming in to this very late in the game... my low washer fluid level light stays on all the time, however it had not occurred to me until reading this thread that it may be caused because my rear wiper and washer reservoir has been removed. I've taken the front reservoir apart and cleaned everything up. The float seems to move freely, although I've yet to figure out what exact electrical readings I'm supposed to see between empty and full.

Where does the rear fluid sensor tie in to the front one?

Thanks Dave

Just pull the plastic tank and unplug the sensor. Not the pump connection but the sensor that gives you a lovely blinking light as you're cornering once the tank level drops.

It takes less than a minute.

Any idea on how to remove the windshield reservoir? It appears that it would pull off/out of the bracket I can see, but not sure.

It pulls straight out.
