Hi,

The light is triggered by a float type switch in the windshield washer fluid reservoir, mounted to the driver's side inner wall of the engine compartment. It is likely that the float is getting stuck or the contacts of the switch are corroded and sending power to the lamp when they shouldn't be.

The most simple fix: unplug the 2-pin flat brown electrical plug from the top of the windshield washer reservoir. No more annoying light :mrgreen:

hmmm speaking of windshield wipers, i think mine have recently died but i just want to make sure, the only way i can get them to go back in forth is if i put them on high speed and help them along, its obvious theres a little pull but i think its just that the motors are shot, are there any relays that could cause this or should i just assume its the motors

Hi,

Could be the motors or the linkage. If you remove the panel just below the windshield, you'll get access to the motor and the linkage. if you spray the linkage with some PB Blaster, the wipers make start working again. :mrgreen:
