Low Washer Fluid Light?
2006 SC430
Out of the blue my low washer fluid light came on.
Filled the reservoir and it went off.
Next start cycle it is back on.
Assuming failing sensor.
Where is it located?
TIA.

BGW70 -- You know that's a good question.
I've owned this car for 7 years and don't think I've ever put washer fluid in it.
It's a Summer car only, very few days has it ever seen rain.
I'll try to dump some more fluid in this AM and see if it puddles.

Yep, leaking like a sieve from under the passenger side headlight.
So I'm assuming the tube to the headlight washer is disconnected.
That's a front bumper removal to re-connect sort of thing isn't it.
If I recall it's only like 10-12 10mm bolts and a couple Phillips heads to drop the bumper. A couple PITA ones in the fender wells.
Correct?

the hose might have a crack, who knows. It’s probably an easy fix.

I had my front bumper repainted a few months ago after some idiot backed into me in a parking lot.
I'm guessing the shop didn't get the hose re-attached correctly.
I bet it's been driven less than 300 miles since I picked it up so it probably just fell off when I did a 2.5 hr roundtrip Sat.

turns out some repair work had been done on the front end and they didn’t reattach the hose.
i did NOT, drop the bumper to reattach the hose.
i either reached in from the bottom or the wheel well...been to many years now.
i do know it was easy to correct!
