Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION
Washer Fluid Level Sensor
The washer fluid level sensor is mounted on the inboard side of the reservoir above the washer pump. A barbed nipple on the sensor is press-fit
into a rubber grommet seal installed in a hole in the side of the reservoir.
When the fluid level in the reservoir falls below the pivoting float on the sensor, the float changes position and closes the internal switch contacts
of the sensor. Refer to Low Washer Fluid Warning Lamp in the Diagnosis and Testing of Instrument Panel Systems for diagnosis of the low
washer fluid warning lamp and circuit, including the sensor.
The washer fluid level sensor cannot be repaired. If faulty or damaged, the sensor unit must be replaced.
