    Dude you rock! Mine started acting up and I watched a few videos on how to take the shield off, pull the reservoir and replace or clean the sensors. The “easier” said to drain the reservoir and pull the sensor from under the truck. It’s 15 below here and there was no way either was going to happen!
    Your video came up and you saved the day!
    Toothbrush taped to a stick for the win!

    2008 Ford Expedition - I taped an old toothbrush to a coat hanger - and followed your instructions - scrubbed the bottom of washer fluid fill up tank - and the washer fluid low warning light - is GONE !!!!!!! Thank You - for the video.

    You sir, are a GENIUS. I just fixed my 2003 Toyota Sequoia. Removed the filler spout, stuck in my stupid-looking toothbrush in a rubber hose tool, and scrubbed. Then I blasted the old fluid out by high pressure hose, and NO IDIOT LIGHT!!! Thanks a million!

    I purchased a new sensor and gasket. Went on RUclips to watch videos about how to install. Came across your video and once I realized how much work was involved to replace it I decided to try your way first. IT WORKED! Thanks, you saved me so much time.

    I got same problem with my 2015 Subaru Impreza after it got empty and I refilled it with fluids then the shit won't go off. I will try your method and see if this works for me? Other people said, to buy a new sensor, take out the bottle and replace with new one but it's damn cold here in Minnesota right now and I hell don't wanna to do it. Thanks for the tip.

    Do you use Rain-x fluid, that causes issues with coating the senor also.

    if you can't reach or get at the sensor, just try to add a cup or so of vinegar to the tank, and after driving around for a while the sensor may register again. It worked for me at least.
