2018 Forester Windshield Washer Warning Stays On

[arkayem]

My windshield washer 'Fluid Low' warning to stay on even though the tank is full.

Where is the warning switch located?

Inside the washer bottle. Magnet and reed switch or test the wiring.

Thanks for the information and the ideas.

I wonder if the 2018 Forester is the same before I get into it?

Does anyone know of a Forester Service Manual that discusses this?

And the model is?

Sorry, I didn't think there would be a difference.

It's a Forester 2.5i Limited.

Aha, now I see the sensor is a simple passive variable resistance module that connects with a 2 pin connector and is located in the washer fluid reservoir.

Thanks!
