Washer Fluid Level Switch: Service and Repair

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Unplug the wire harness connector from the washer pump.
3. Remove the washer supply hose from the washer pump and drain the washer fluid from the reservoir into a clean container for reuse.

NOTE: The pivoting float of the washer fluid sensor must be in a horizontal position within the reservoir in order to be removed. With the reservoir empty and held in an upright position, the pivoting float will orient itself to the horizontal position when the sensor connector is pointed straight downwards.

4. Using a trim stick or another suitable wide flat-bladed tool, gently pry the washer fluid level sensor out of the rubber grommet seal. Care must be taken not to damage the reservoir.
5. Remove the rubber grommet seal from the reservoir and discard.
6. Reverse the removal procedures to install. Always use a new rubber grommet seal on the reservoir.
