Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation
Washer Fluid Level Switch - Description
DESCRIPTION
The washer fluid level switch (3) is a two-pin conductivity sensor with no moving parts mounted on the rearward facing side of the washer reservoir on
the upper left corner of the cooling module on the Front End Module (FEM). Only the molded plastic switch mounting flange and the integral connector
receptacle (4) are visible when the switch is installed in the reservoir.
A short nipple formation (1) extends from the inner surface of the switch mounting flange, and a barb on the nipple is pressed through a rubber grommet
seal installed in the mounting hole of the reservoir. Two over-molded pins or electrodes (2) extend from the back of the nipple formation. The switch is
connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the FEM wire harness.
The washer fluid level switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the switch must be replaced.
