Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation

WASHER FLUID LEVEL SENSOR
The washer fluid level sensor is mounted near the bottom of the rearward facing side of the washer reservoir. A barbed nipple on the sensor is press-fit into a rubber grommet seal installed in the mounting hole on the reservoir.

When the fluid level in the washer reservoir falls below the travel limit of the float, the internal switch contacts of the sensor close.

The washer fluid level sensor cannot be repaired. If faulty or damaged, the sensor unit must be replaced.
