Washer Fluid Indicator Light Stays Lit

Hi all, just wanted to know if anyone else has this problem. I have a 2001 Civic DX and the windshield washer fluid indicator light stays lit in the cluster. Is there a rpoblem with the sensor or wiring? Anyone with clues or ideas on how to fix this. Thanks

ya did you try filling it? if you did, its prolly just the sensor. Not sure how to fix that tho as its in the washer reservoir. Maybe get a new holding tank from a junkyard.

if not your washer sensor fluid is broken

happened on my 6th gen 98 EL. For the 6th gen the sensor cost $65 cdn from honda

Hi everyone, notice how everyone that has a washer fluid light is in CANADA. If you read the owners manual, you would know! Yay.

it makes sense to include indicators in canadian cars. wipers can become useless in cold weather without antifreeze fluid and make it hard to see out the front of the car.

ok, why do people keep making this harder then it is.

If the light is on, check the simplest thing first. See if you have fluid. 99% of the time there will be no fluid in there is the light is on. If there is fluid, then check the circuit or sensor.

Now if the light doesnt come on at all, then check the light bulb. It is probably burnt out. I dont understand why people always try the hardest things first. Or dont think right.
