For the first time since I own my truck, I ran out of washer fluid yesterday, but noticed that I did not even get a warning light. I don't recall owning a vehicle in the past 10 years that did not have one. Even my 93 2 door Tempo had one. I have a hard time to believe that this truck with all the doodads dosen't have that.

It may be just the bulb, or the sensorm, I failed to check this moring when I started the truck and all the lights come on in the instrument panel, if I could see one.

Anyway, no biggy, just wondering.

Yep, you have a low washer fluid level light, I its bright and it will make an audible beep when its low and you try and use the washer....were you on a hill or a level surface when you tried to use your fluid? Or another possibility is that the fluid froze up, or maybe your squirters are clogged. Hope this helps out.

 

I'll look into the sensor, this upcomming weekend. I reflled the WW tank and all is well. I use Winter washer fluid that is rated -50C, thats -58 deg F. So freesing wasn't the problem. And I tried using the Fluid at different inclinations (Going up hill, and going downhill, Iwould get a bit, and then none... whatever, anyway I knew that the washer fluid was low, but no warning from the instrument cluster. The Low washer bulb does not even come on when I do a bulb test on the instrument cluster, and no audible sound when I tried to use WW when the tank was empty.

Anyway, Like i said, I'll look for a level sensor this weekend and make sure it is properly connected.

Thanks for the confirmation that there is one.
