WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Jeep Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The washer fluid level switch can be removed from the washer reservoir without removing the reservoir from the vehicle.

- Raise and support the vehicle.
- Remove the plastic push-in fasteners that secure the forward end of the left front wheel house splash shield to the inner fender panel and the front fascia. Refer to SHIELD, SPLASH, REAR WHEELHOUSE, REMOVAL .
- Pull the forward end of the left front wheel house splash shield away from the inner fender panel and front fascia far enough to access the washer fluid level sensor unit (3) on the outboard side of the washer reservoir (1) on the outboard end of the Front End Module (FEM) hydroform.
- Disconnect the FEM wire harness connector (2) for the washer fluid level sensor from the sensor connector receptacle.
- Disconnect one of the reservoir washer plumbing fittings from the barbed outlet nipple of the washer pump (4) and allow the washer fluid to drain into a clean container for reuse.
