I recently brought my F-150 to get serviced and I had a problem with the washer fluid light not coming on when I run low on washer fluid...and they said the wasn't one and in the owners manual it shows one on the optional gage witch I have...can anyone tell me if there is a sensor there or not..there telling me that theres not one there and that it was an option..witch I think is BS..and if there is anyone that has the optional cluster dose there washer warning light come on..

thanks for anyones help

 

I suppose that some F150's don't come with that sensor, you didn't say what year yours is, mine is a 1998 and I've never seen it, however my folks have a 1999 Expedition and theres has it, it comes on all the time, kinda two fold, that way, does no good if its going to cry wolf.

GO BIG RED!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not all trucks come with all the things shown on the optional panal!

If you have it you should be able to see it. It will be a float type mechanism either in the reservoir or attached to the bottom of the reservoir cap.

i own a 1999 f-150 supercab xlt flareside sport

 

There's a light for low washer fluid? Whats next light for low headlight fluid

 

should it come with one or not

 

very funny...the reason why is I live in CANADA where we get snow in the winter and you go through a lot of washer fluid...would you drive on the highway and all of a sudden run out of washer fluid...you try driving with no washer fluid in the winter

 

I basicly have the same truck as you, and no... no low washer fluid light.

 

In all fairness, oil should be checked at every fill-up (whether you burn oil or not). While the hood is open, it only takes a second to look at the clear jug t see if its full or not.

Besides, a good gallon (4 litre) capacity should last a decent time anyway.

 

thanks s-76 for your awsner...there is one thing why in the hell do they have a warning light for low washer fluid...and j-150 do you actualy drive your truck..how many people check there oil every time they fill up...pluse I use only senthetic moble 1 and I change the oil every 5,000km...how hard is it to awsner if your f-150 has a washer fluid light that comes on or not..I didn't pay 40,000 thousand for a truck that has parts missing...I bet you a chev has one

 

Others have said that it works on an Expy. Most of the parts like the instrument cluster are used in both the Expy and the 150, with minor differences. Also the cruise control dash light doesn't work in the 150, yet is functional in an Expy.

 

s-76 on my F-150 my lights work on the cruse control

 

Actually, I mean the indicator light on the instrument cluster. My C/C controls on the steering wheel light up at night. When the C/C is turned on, or in use, there is no "ON" indicator light lit on the instrument cluster. It works on Expys, and I "think" on 250 and 350s.

 

S76, on my 2000 F150 the 'CRUISE' light comes on in the instrument cluster when the cruise is engaged. No indication when it's on only when it is engaged.
