So the last couple months my washer fluid low warning has been coming on when the fluid is topped off . Anyone know the P/N of the sensor ?

Now on to my tubing issue ...odd to have two problems with the same system but I do .
The tube that comes out of the reservoir has a disconnect just BELOW the PDC ( fuse box ) very difficult to get two hands to it . Anyway it looks like it's supposed to plug in and do a 1/4 turn to lock in ?
The piece below the PDC is broken DOES ANYONE KNOW THE P/N of this piece ?

Looks like it will be easy to get to for repair once I get the inner wheel well out of the way .
Thanks to anyone who has any advice on this and the P/Ns as well .fc4151d407cc466c23084a8df35c06d9.jpg

Has anyone decided if rainx fluid was the culprit for washer issues or is that just a rumor? I've used rainx fluid for years with no issues however because of what I've been reading on this forum the last time I bought fluid I just got the cheap blue stuff.

Many here have claimed this and it's all over the web . Just Google Ram washer fluid sensor / rainX .

I have never had an issue with rainx fluid but I stopped using it and just use the cheap blue stuff now.

I'm having the same issue with my 2011 continuously telling me my washer fluid is low, even though when I check it's full. That sensor is cheap enough so I'll replace it and see if that cures it

Changed my sensor today for the windshield washer fliud .

This is a very simple item to replace IF YOU DO THIS :

1) Jack up the front end and rove the driver's side tire .

2 ) detach 1/2 of the driver's side front wheel well cover and bend it back

####trust me on this , as I tried to get it without partially removing the wheel well and it was a pain .... terribly simple with the wheel well out of the way ...30 min job total ... Removal and reinstall of tire & wheel well .

To disconnect the electrical connector , u need to pull the red locking device outwards , then pull the connector off .

I highly recommend to install the sealing gasket into the reservoir then install the new sensor .

my 14 5.7 1500 with 8 speed trans gets 19 on average. I can go take pic if you want.

BTW, my friend was using rain-x in his Durango and his sensor went bad while under warranty. The dealer told him not to use rain-x anymore because they won`t warranty it again if he does.
