Washer Fluid Level and Motor

[RUMBLE BEE 1546]

Over the summer some time the washer fluid for the windshield stopped spraying. It didn't bother me at all so I ignored it.

Last week the low washer fluid light started showing up on the dash. Now that that's bugging me every time I get in I figure it's time to fix both. I did top off the fluid and it only took about 1-2 cups of fluid.

Some searching tells me the line is probably broken along the path to the nozzles so I will look into that. I also found that the float often goes bad in the 98 and probably needs to be replaced.

My question is what is the best way to get at this? Replace the whole bottle and motor with the sensor or what? And where can I get new parts at?

Parts are on rock auto
I replaced the pump on my 95 in the car without removal of the number but it was tight
Then I bridged the connector for the level sensor with a fuse.
Havent had problems with the 97

Or chop the plug off, strip the ends, twist them together and tape. The fuse sounds easier.

I am very poor with electronics and wiring. Is there a way to fix/replace the sensor?

I heard the bumper had to come off which isn't a problem and I can remove the fog lights that don't work.

Like I said rock auto has the parts
Its all plug and play no wiring needed.

Thank you. I didn't realize they had the level too. Guess I should've looked before posting last.

i went with a fuse to shut up the low level warning. worked for me.
i'll check the level the old fashioned way.

I check mine using the nacho cheese method.

Here is what's leaking. Just got the part and waiting for it to cool again to swap it.

Made a damn mess under there.

Just noticed I placed this in the wrong thread lol.
