## NHTSA's summary

Warning Lamp "Washer Fluid Empty" Yet Reservoir Is Not Empty Complaint: Warning lamp "washer fluid empty", even thought the washer fluid reservoir is full Cause: Insufficient electrical conductivity of the washer fluid, as the washer fluid was mixed with distilled water. Tip: The washer fluid sensor detects the electrical conductivity. If air is present without electrical conductivity between the measuring points, as is the case with an empty tank, an empty tank is detected by the sensor. Distilled water also does not have electrical conductivity, meaning that the sensor detects an empty tank, even if this is not the case. Remedy: Fill reservoir with standard washer fluid and water \(no distilled water\) in an adequate ratio in order to ensure electrical conductivity. Exchange of the reservoir with a welded\-in sensor is only required if filling with conductive washer fluid has not provi\- ded a remedy. This can be made certain by utilizing water with a light amount of salt dissolved in to it for stronger con\- ductivity.
