Wiper Washer Light

[AudioWriter]

Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this.

My wiper washer light came on and I filled the reservoir with fluid. (it was a regular brand - nothing special)

However, now every time I cold start the truck - the light comes on until I warm start it 2 or 3 times - then the light stays off.

Sometimes the light will go off while driving after the second start when the engine is warm.

I haven't checked the wire to the sensor in the reservoir and I don't know if the sensor tip inside the reservoir can get a film on it or if there is some other potential issue.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Mine was on when I bought it.

The sensor can get coated in a film from the specialty fluids (green, orange, pink, bug wash, yellow, etc).

Some say a few tankfulls of regular blue washer fluid will clean the sensor off, but it didn't work for me.

I pulled the sensor out and cleaned it with a cloth and soapy water.

You can see the film when you pull it out, and watch it wash off with the soap.

Popped her back in and it works like new.

I used a baby bottle cleaning brush taped to a thin metal rod and slipped it down into the filler neck opening. Then I managed to brush up and down and twist it around - and ever since = no light!

Good work.

Definitely easier and cleaner than removing the sensor.
