I see. Do you have low washer level sensor?
If so, where was it located and where did wires plug in?

Sure thing.
Thanks a lot.

Not really, but you are not adding anything of value here...
And I am saying "they should", not "they must", so where do you
get this musterbating from? :-)

I am going to add this issue to my list of 100,000,000 of the World's
greatest problems, but cannot assure you that it will be at the top.
Keep in mind that I am the sort of guy who is just happy when my car
actually starts in the morning.

LOL, and you are? This is rich! :-)

We're in the middle of a serious recession. The
underpinnings are too much credit. IOW, money has just
disappeared. The nation and now world are in a panic, and
unfortunately it's justified (for at least a year or more).
Then this spoiled, unskilled uneducated yuppie is
complaining that he can't add a full gallon of windshield
washer fluid to his Honda.

Cool, you looked it up! I was thinking in terms of the package advertising
between different brands and the overall weight of the package is the same.
I should have been more specific, but you are correct. Now, if we start
jamming these hot dogs into the Accord washer fluid reservoir, how many can
fit? Just trying to keep on topic. LOL

No washer level sensor. The car's too old ('91) and not high enough in the
Honda food chain.

I determine my washer fluid level by looking at the position of the yellow
foam-rubber bobber in the filler neck. High tech, y'know.

You must either rarely ever have to fill the reservoir up or never lift the
hood of your car. I never have a problem.

Well, there was one once. I had driven some 500 miles on one of those
winter days when the road was just wet. Muddy spray from the traffic ahead
meant I was using the sprayers every few seconds, it seemed. I went through
what was in the tank, a whole new gallon, and I still ran out.

I unplugged mine because it was making me careless. Plus I unplugged the
key-in beeper for the same reason. In the ensuing 15 years paranoia has
ensured I have neither left my headlights on nor locked myself out, not
even once.
