Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Dodge Sprinter. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The optional washer fluid level switch is a single pole, single throw switch that is integral to a unique version of the washer pump/motor unit, located rearward facing side of the washer reservoir, which is located in a dedicated hole on the top of the sump area near the back of the windshield washer reservoir on the right front fender wheel house in the engine compartment. Only a molded plastic nipple with a clear vent tube are visible near the top of the washer pump/motor unit that is equipped with the optional fluid level switch when it is installed in the reservoir. The vent tube is routed to and retained in an integral clip located behind the reservoir filler cap near the top of the reservoir. This version of the washer pump/motor unit also has a third terminal pin in its integral connector receptacle. The washer fluid level switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire washer pump/motor unit must be replaced.
