Windshield Wiper Fluid Notice

[SupermanWV]

Rain-X messed mine up. I put blue cheap stuff in after rain-x was empty. The light went off and has never came back on. I have a 2013.

You know, I've been waiting to see something pop up here about this. I refilled my tank last month with the orange rain-x fluid and my light has been on since. Sucks because I've got 1 more gal of it sitting in the garage. lol

Mine went off. Hasn't came back on. Yet.

Mine does the same thing when I use Rain-Ex. Has anyone found a way to fix the sensor? I'd rather completely disable it (short it) than switch to the crappy blue washer fluid.

I called the dealer and told them what happened, first question from them was if i used Rain X, I said yes, they told me that it coats the sensor. I'm going to try and clean it or I'm going to replace it, it's been on for a few months

Pulled my sensor out and cleaned it the other week my light hasn't come on since. I refilled with the blue stuff.

Where on the washer tank is the sensor? I have been having fits with my warning light but haven't figured out the cause yet. I just purchased the vehicle ('09 1500 TRX) and started having problems last week. I pulled the washer fluid motor and it works fine. Pulled the little white filter and it had some kind of slime on it. I cleaned it off and go things working but a day later it happened again. I pulled the filter and it had the slime again. I cleaned it and flushed the tank and it now pumps fine but the that light is making me crazy! I'll pull the sensor if I need to or bypass it somehow or ??? But I need that light to go off.

Thanks,
SDS

Hi All,
I would imagine that the same film that causes the water to bead off the windshield causes a high resistance condition on the sensor plates (tips). This turns on the washer fluid light. Apparently when the blue stuff is put back in it cleans the sensors and the system functions normally again.
JMHO

i use about two cups of fabuloso and fill with water. it smells nice and cleans the windshield great! i've never had an issue with the sensors. road grime and oil come off like nothing.
