Default Washer Fluid Low Light is crazy!

Ok so why would my light indicating that my windshield washer fluid is low when it is just about full???

And who thought this was something that needed a red warning light?? I mean really? I'm about to put a piece of electrical tape over it just so I don't have to look at it.

I have a 94 Z28..any thoughts??

The 94's had this? Well the obvious thing would be to replace the sensor, but you could always just pull the sensor or unplug it, put a piece of wire in the plug connecting the two terminals so it thinks that it's always full.

Replace the sensor, around 35 bucks from gmpartsdirect.com. The sensor probs get ate away after a while and causes it to go off when it shouldn't be. I always keep a spare around just because.

Yeah it's no problem, everyone gets pointed and laughted at sometime.

It's right under the heater hose on the passenger side. It uses this C-clip to hold it on, it should pull out from one side of the sensor.
