Washer Fluid Sensor Stuck

Was on low fluid for about a week, filled it and now the sensor keeps the light on.

Anyone run into this before? I tried hot water fill and vehicle shake to see if that might clear the issue, but nope.

Can you stick something in the reservoir and knock the sensor's float loose?

I have a 1/4" flex scope, will fire that up and see what's in there.

Before I had a chance to scope it, the light went out. Not sure if the light went dead from being on for weeks or not. I will still scope the tank to see what's in there.

You could force the float down and see if the dash light still comes on to test the sensor/light.
