My 96 and the son's 89 xj's both have a reed switch actuated by a magnet on
a float. As I mentioned the float has a habit of stayng down after a bump.

I've never had one of those things that worked right. Usually, they tell
you the fluid is low when it is 3/4 full. I just disconnect mine and put
electrical tape over the connector.

I mean do we really need this thing? Washer fluid is about the only
thing that actually runs low in my XJ...besides a quart of oil in 3000
miles by which time it is due for a change anyway.

I've resigned myself to using the dollar a gallon stuff from the store.
Our water here is too hard, and the stuff is cheap, and does a much
better job on the glass than plain water.

DAve
