Re: Washer fluid low
You need to 1.) ignore the message, 2.) get a new level sensor.

Re: Washer fluid low
Thanks to all.
Cleaned connector, checked the wire, still the same.
knocked on the senor, and then it was ok for about 100 meter driving, then
it came back.
Disconnected the plug (no light) check again when my tank is empty.

Re: Washer fluid low
The circuit is designed as an open circuit until the fluid level drops so
low as to provide a path to ground. Unplugging will keep the circuit open,
and defeat the message. You have a shorted sensor.
