Any quick solutions to a false "Washer Fluid Low" error message. Started last night after install of new radiator.

I cleaned the connections on mine and made sure it was properly inserted into the res. Did the trick. Might have bumped a wire or pulled something loose when you replaced the radiator?

usually it's ether upside down or the float filled up and sank

the wire together - completed the circuit - eliminated the error and no longer have low washer warning - of course now I have to manually check to see when the washer fluid is low :(

I wound up having to do like Jeff on an 87 325 I used to own and just recently on my 525. Got tired of the crazy thing going off especially while going down a level road.

are all of you sure that your sensors aren't wrong side up? mine was "broken" like that until i realised that the wire harness is supposed to plug into the sensor with the sensor plug going downward....problem solved. it used to go off randomly on level roads, too.

Seems like I tried your method Ryan but I can't be sure (I've got CRS-Can't Remember ****) but I'll take a look at it next time I get a chance.
Thanks,
JR

But God, do we have to have enough sense to check the washer fluid ourselves - how will I ever remember. (lol) Haven't checked mine yet - just thrilled to have a radiator again.

the dealer in Canada wanted 120 bucks just for the sensor!!!! That was the days before I found the board and BMA - For 12o bucks I figured I could live without the warning - hasn't bugged me since

Thx for the thought though
