Washer fluid low

1994 Cherokee 2,1TD (I know wan't happen again)

Got the warning light "low washer fluid", (it was half empty) I refilled,
but still the light is On.
Tried to check why, but could not find any reason, checked all the fuses as
well.
Any suggestions ?

Thanks for all help. (not a big deal, but always nice when things work as it
is supposed to do)

Best Regards

Clean the float switch connections. Could be it's corroded.

If it's like the one on my 96 there's a float think inside the tank. When
the float dropps doen from a bump or whatever it gets stuck. Another bump
MAY allow it to float again. If you get tired of looking at the light pull
the connector. Also a dirty connector will not cause it to come on. It works
the other way around.

If it's like my Fords there're two electrodes at the end of wire
accessed through that pop top, plates about an inch long parallel to
each other, that corrosion eat mine completely off in ten years. That's
using Kalifornia's hard water, if I ever use the recommended fluid with
a mixture of antifreeze they'd probable be like new copper plates.

Bill.

My 96 and the son's 89 xj's both have a reed switch actuated by a magnet on
a float. As I mentioned the float has a habit of stayng down after a bump.

Hi JoBo,
Yes, I see know now, it's external on this WJ and would only work
with a float in it's cylinder beside the pump:

I've never had one of those things that worked right. Usually, they tell
you the fluid is low when it is 3/4 full. I just disconnect mine and put
electrical tape over the connector.

I mean do we really need this thing? Washer fluid is about the only
thing that actually runs low in my XJ...besides a quart of oil in 3000
miles by which time it is due for a change anyway.

I've resigned myself to using the dollar a gallon stuff from the store.
Our water here is too hard, and the stuff is cheap, and does a much
better job on the glass than plain water.

You get to use WATER in yours? -17F here this morning, -26F where I go
wheeling.

You need to 1.) ignore the message, 2.) get a new level sensor.

Thanks to all.
Cleaned connector, checked the wire, still the same.
knocked on the senor, and then it was ok for about 100 meter driving, then
it came back.
Disconnected the plug (no light) check again when my tank is empty.
