WIPER/WASHER - LOW FLUID WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON


FORD ALL MODEL YEARS AND ALL CAR LINES WITH LOW FLUID WARNING LIGHT

LINCOLN-MERCURY ALL MODEL YEARS AND ALL CAR LINES WITH LOW FLUID WARNING LIGHT

LIGHT TRUCKS ALL MODEL YEARS AND ALL LINES WITH LOW FLUID WARNING LIGHT

On some vehicles equipped with low fluid warning light, the light may stay on even when the washer reservoir is full. This is caused by using washer fluid concentrate (C9AZ-19550-A/B) that has not been mixed with water according to the instructions. The undiluted washer solution is absorbed by the float resulting in the float sinking.

When filling the washer reservoir with washer fluid concentrate (C9AZ-19550-A/B), the instructions on the can must be followed. Mixing the concentrated washer fluid with water will stop the float from sinking.
