Hey guys. My windshield wiper fluid low warning has been on for months, regardless of whether my reservoir is full of fluid or not. I had been using the RainX orange stuff for a long time, and I heard that it causes the sensor to get messed up, so that could be it. I went on RockAuto and ordered the sensor (using their selector and entering my truck make, model, year, etc). The part they sent me matches most Google Image searches for "Dodge Ram 2008 wiper fluid sensor". (The part they sent me is circled in red in the image attached.)
When I went to install it, the sensor that appeared to be on my truck was quite different. It is circled in blue. One portion of the part that was existing, circled in green, had the same fitting as the new part (which you can't see on the new part because the opposite side is showing in this pic). I don't know why RockAuto sent me this part (circled in red). I also don't know why most Google searches for the wiper sensor in my truck also shows this same part (circled in red).
I have no idea how I can go about getting the right sensor to my truck. The entire assembly for the sensor that was on my truck is circled in green. Can anybody provide any help to me on this?
Thanks in advance!
