Switch, Washer Fluid Level: Description: Description
The washer fluid level switch (3) is a two-pin conductivity sensor with no moving parts mounted on the outboard facing side of the washer reservoir on the right frame rail, ahead of the left front wheel opening. Only the molded plastic switch mounting flange and the integral connector receptacle (4) are visible when the switch is installed in the reservoir.
A short nipple formation (1) extends from the inner surface of the switch mounting flange, and a barb on the nipple is pressed through a rubber grommet seal installed in the mounting hole of the reservoir. Two over-molded pins or electrodes (2) extend from the back of the nipple formation. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire harness.
The washer fluid level switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the switch must be replaced.
