How-To Activate Your Low Washer Fluid Light Even If Your Car Doesnt Have That Option!

Just finished doing it on my car & it works!!!

Pics are up on PAGE13 of my homepage....I'll fill in some text soon...

p.s. If you dont care for this how-to then hit your back button & read another thread....
I did this b/c I hated not knowing when I was low on fluid unless I popped the hood & checked myself....& owning a SE Maxima I thought it came w/ that option but it didnt b/c it didnt have a certain package, per the dealership. Good thing the car came pre-wired



EDIT: How-To is complete with pics & text now! 6/21/03

Not sure if it's because i have a '03 SE or what, but i have a base with only LSD and Sunroof and i have the light. I recently noticed it was functional because i was pushing the car around a corner and the light came on. Fluid is getting low.

Wow, I really all thought they came with it standard. Hell, my '68 GTO had that as standard equipment, and does my '02 Dodge Dakota...

It definitely works on my '03 Max GLE.

I know the sensor is there, whereabouts on the dash would it light up?

Also, where did the Evian bottle come into play?

Very innovative KPazzo!

I have Meridian on my 2K2, so do I have that option then? I've never let the fluid get that low anyways. Or I suppose I could get down there and look...hahaha

Could we just buy a new washer bottle with the sensor already in it?

Sounds like I have to bug DaveB again?

New washer bottle w/sensor= $79

Level sensor= $15

Either way works for me!
