My trucks windshield washer fluid low indicator went off about two months into having the truck. Checked the wash fluid reservoir and it was a little low so I topped it off. After topping it off I used the washer fluid maybe twice and lo washer fluid indicator came up again. I checked my reservoir today and it’s barely below full. Has anyone had similar issues?

What type of fluid did you top off with? Fluids with Rain-X or similar additives have been known to mess up fluid washer sensors.

Not 100% sure I had some laying around the garage so I used it to top off. I’ll have to check once I get back home. Thanks for the info!

That’s what I thought but I only used it maybe 4 times when I first got the truck before the indicator popped up. Then topped it off used it twice within a couple weeks of topping it off and boom it’s back on. Not that big of an issue just annoying seeing that indicator every time I’m driving.

Hi David! I can look into your Ranger's concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Ranger's VIN?
