Washer Fluid Level Indicator: Description and Operation

VDO Instrument Cluster W/Turbo:

Warning lights should never be illuminated while the car is being driven. However, they should light when the ignition is switched on in order to check their function. When the engine is started all warning lights should go out (apart from the parking brake warning light if the parking brake is on).

Low Washer Fluid:

The windshield washer reservoir level sensor is located in the windshield washer fluid reservoir and consists of a magnetic float which closes a switch when the coolant falls below the specified lowest level. When this circuit is closed an output in the combined instrument panel is grounded and the warning lamp lights.
