Low washer fluid light

[gmader2001]

Does it bother anyone else how the lights starts to flicker when you are gettin low on washer fluid, its no big deal I was just curious.

Probably triggered by the fluid sloshing around.

don't think we have that on our V's down here

I havent seen this light come on, but I have filled up the washer fluid twice now and twice I have filled up the whole bottle of fluid and it seem like i can keep of filling it lol

Isn't that what the light is for?? I would say that it is time to add some fluid if the sensor for low level is allowing the warning light to flicker.

[gmader2001]

Oh I know that is what the light is for, to tell you when the fluid is low. I was just curious what ppl thought about it because it flickers when ever u hit the brakes, pull away, turn, any movment of the car. I just wish it would the same as the low fuel light. It is no big deal i can live with it. I was just wondering what other people thought.

I wish I had a low washer fluid light.

i didn't even they had something like that. but for it to flicker during braking, turning, etc, i'm sure it's just like KKaWing said.

It's a standard (mandatory?) feature on Canadian models, along with daytime-running lights. The U.S. models have provisions for the light (it's there if you look at the instrument cluster with a flashlight) but do not have the wiring for the sensor (or the sensor itself). Higher-end cars, however, have this feature.

I agree about the desire to have the light on the US versions. I was driving in some slushy mess on Friday, and I was halfway home when I realized I didn't have enough fluid. It was terrible.

Does anyone know if there's a way to get it wired up for this? Hopefully a way that isn't expensive. (after all, it's nice to have but isn't a hardship to live without)

[BBISHOPPCM]

It's a very simple circuit, probably normally open (the float in the sensor closes the circuit, illuminating the dash light). If you were to obtain a Canadian reservoir and sensor, I'm sure it wouldn't take much to make it work. The cluster may not actually have the LED for the light, so you would have to add that.

Now waiting for Versa Madness to come in and tell us what page of the FSM it's on.

This problem is easily solved. Just make an appointment at your Nissan dealer and they can service it for you. Shouldn't cost more than about $60 plus parts. Or if you have a little technical knowhow you could probably do it yourself. I think the parts are on sale at Canadian tire for $1.99 per jug.

Info regarding the washer system can be found starting on page WW-26 of your Official Nissan Versa Service manual...........How did I do EV??

That was excellent. Perhaps you need to do a writeup so you can officially get the title "Service Manual Reference Man"
