"low wiper fluid light always ON!"

[1989xjlimited]

I found out the wires are disconnected. I reconnected and filled the reservoir with wiper fluid. Now the light is always on. Any suggestions on what to fix or replace?

thanks

There is a sensor in the bottle, I would say it is bad.

The one on the bottle is loose, it just goes in circle, although no leaks. Do you just pull this out or how do you do this without breaking the connections. right now I have the wire separated so the light would not come on.

Do I just go to any local kragens, or pep boys?

thanks

the light will come on after one use of the washer fluid. theres nothing you can do about it.

I had the same problem on my 92 Cherokee.

I believe the whole sensor unit just kind of pulls out of the plastic bottle. I am not sure because I did it some time ago.

Anyway, I ended up taking the sensor apart, cleaned it up real good, & put it back together. It worked after that. I think the "float" was sticking and would not let the sensor move with the level of the washer fluid.

I think this is just a simple magnet & "Reed Relay" system. So when the fluid gets low, the relay closes and turns on the light. So when you pull the connector, the light would never come on (Open circuit all the time).

Hope this helps some.

Take Care,
