Hi all...

I've a 3rd Gen Ltd 4Runner and the wiper fluid light has been on for a week or so now... I filled up today, but only with a few ounces as it was pretty full to begin with!!!

i know its not urgent but it is annoying... any thoughts on what might be causing it?

 

Theres a wiper fluid light?

 

i hope so, otherwise i'm ignoring some other problem that might need attention!!!

 

Take a picture?

 

are you...are you pulling our leg?.....what does the light look like?

 

it looks like the one in the top left corner, like a spray on the windshield

 

Well I didn't believe it so i went and looked in my manual, and there is a light like that, and it is to add windshield wiper fluid.

I guess mine doesn't work because I don't remember it being on when i was out.

 

I guess I've never an mine out but I do knwo the rear sprayer will stop working when you get low but the fronts will still work for a bit.

 

I think only the canadian 4Runners have this light.
I also had this problem and the dealership wanted $80 for the switch plus labor. What I did to fix this is pull out the switch from the bottom of the washer fluid tank (switch looks like a plastic pole with a white donut floater around it) and wrapped a strip of styrofoam around the floater. You can attach the styrofoam with a small elastic or fishing line.

 

so i um... used the wipers - with a squirt of fluid - and the light went off!!!

peculiar, but fixed!

 

maybe it was too full...?

 

Well , if the canuck ones have it, I want it on mine. Anyone know anything about this

 

I see it's been awhile since anyone posted anything but my 98 4Runner has done the same thing recently. The light came on, I filled it up and it still won't turn off. I've tried spraying and it works fine but the light is still on. Any advice?
