Default Low washer fluid

Is there any way to bypass or disconnect the "low washer" light that flashes if u barely use any fluid? Its annoying but I have gotten used to it just thought I would ask if anybody knew a way to get rid of it besides putting a piece of black electrical tape over it lol. Thanks!

Yep, just unplug it. That's all there is to it. No more annoying flashing orange light

Hammer to the gauge cluster should fix the light.

You mean it's not normal for it to flash when going around corners? I use it as a redneck accelerometer. Flashes were tight corners, solid meant I probably should have been going slower

Totally normal. That's why I disconnected mine, I found that to be extremely annoying

I agree with disconnecting it. God knows I had the hood up so much I'd just check it then.
