Washer fluid low light
 
So when I purchased my 87 NA it came with a few mods, one was the washer fluid delete.

A shame since I am fanatical about a clean windshield... But alas--

I've had it with the ever present amber idiot light telling me my non-existent washer fluid bottle is low. I am looking for help on locating the connector (location and photo) for the sensor so I can add a jumper and close the loop to turn off the idiot light on my dash cluster.

It's an 87 non-turbo.

the front windshield washer tank is located at front rh corner of the engine bay. should be able to get to the connector through the fender liner. i would suggest reinstalling the tank.
there is also a tank in the rear for rear windshield washer. lh rear corner, near spare tire. also, if you have headlight washers, tank for them is at the front lh corner of engine bay. make sure the other 2 aren't low first. there's a chance that the po may have already looped the fr. washer sensor and one or both of the other 2 are low

The Green wire from the fluid level sensor has a ground on it which is why your light stays on. Find this Green wire and place voltage to it and it should turn the light off. The wire could be found where the washer fluid tank is or at connector FR-02 or at the back of the warning light unit.

Can someone take a photo if the washer fluid sensor connector? I'm having trouble locating it. I though I found it but adding a jumper didn't turn light off.

As for reinstalling the bottle, I have no rear wiper, no headlight wipers, and an aftermarket hood with no sprayer nozzles-- which is likely why it was deleted by previous owner.

It's at the bottom of the holding unit.

My holding unit was deleted by previous owner, so I need a photo of the plug.

Remove the bulb :)

The wire could be found where the washer fluid tank is or at connector FR-02 or at the back of the warning light unit. The plug only has two wires, w/one wire being Green as already denoted, plus a Black wire. There is only one plug like that in the area if it is still there. A pic is useless.

Correction: Plug has four wires. It is square in shape w/rounded corners. Other two wires are Blue and Blue/Orange.
