    Disabling Wiper Fluid Sensor

    Is there anyway to disable the sensor so that my wiper fluid light indicator does not appear? I deleted to washer reservoir (never use it) and the indicator light annoys the hell out of me.

    Connect the two wires from the switch. It will be the blue/purple wire and the brown one. It completes the circuit and turns the light off.

        Das ist nicht nur nicht richtig, es ist nicht einmal falsch!

          Make sure you aren't connecting the washer fluid pump wire to something else seeing as washer fluid pump is hot. There are a good bit of wires between the pump and switch. The colors might be different between the years. Mine is a 1991.

            Well I am just connecting the fluid sensor so I'm not doing the wrong wires for certain. I also checked the sensor in another member's car to verify it works properly and it does. There's a short somewhere apparently but I don't understand where I should be looking.
