Test S: Low Washer Fluid Warning Light Never/Always On

NOTE: If low washer fluid light is always on, start test at step 2).
  1. Turn ignition switch off. Remove instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER  in REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Remove low washer fluid warning light bulb and check continuity of bulb. If bulb is okay, go to next step. If bulb is bad, replace bulb and retest system.
  2. Turn ignition off. Disconnect washer fluid level switch 2-pin connector at washer fluid reservoir. Measure resistance between washer fluid level switch terminals. If resistance is less than 5 ohms with float depressed and more than 10 k/ohms with float released, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more with float depressed or 10 k/ohms or less with float released, replace washer fluid level switch.
  3. Measure resistance between ground and washer fluid level switch Black wire. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open in Black wire.
  4. Disconnect instrument cluster connector C268. Measure resistance of Green/Black wire between washer fluid level switch and instrument cluster connector C268 terminal No. 1. See Figure - Figure . Resistance should be less than 5 ohms. Measure resistance between ground and instrument cluster connector C268 terminal No. 1 (Green/Black wire). Resistance should be more than 10 k/ohms. If resistance measurements are as specified, replace instrument cluster printed circuit. See PRINTED CIRCUIT  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Retest system. If resistance measurements are not as specified, repair Green/Black wire. Retest system.
