I have a Stock 95 Jeep Cherokee XJ... The Low Washer Fluid Light will not go off. I believe the switch in the washer reservoir tank is the problem.
Mopar has discontinued OEM Part # 56000698
After Market is Omix ADA Part # 17217.04
omix ADA Part is available everywhere, including Amazon:
Question: My OEM Wire Harness has a FEMALE Plug that clips to Male Connectors that are external on the OEM Sensor. The After-Market Sensors require a 2 Pin Male Plug to connect to female pins on the sensor. The after-market sensors do not come with a wiring harness pigtail.
Does anybody know WHICH 2 Pin Male Plugs will fit into these after markets sensors?
The female plug on the sensors seems to be oval in shape and may or may not allow for a clip on the top.
I need to chase down the male plug. Can anyone provide a source or part #?

Welcome to CF.
Can't help you with the pigtail but a question for you. Does your old one look like the one from Amazon? This is supposedly for a '95:

It's the one I put on my '96 BUT the connector on my old one was 180* from where the one in the link is.

No... The Stock Washer Fluid Sensor on the '95 Jeep XJ has male electrical connections per the image attached.
I don't want to cut the wiring harness... I need the plug for the After-Market Sensors that would seemingly match a Mopar Stock Plug

Here is OEM vs Aftermarket. Apparently, Jeep changed the plug style on the original OEM at some point.
I simply need to know what plug to fit the Current style/After-Market sensor?

That's listed as a coolant level sensor not a washer fluid level sensor.

Correct... Omix ADA does list the part as a Coolant Sensor. However, the Coolant Overflow Reservoir does not have a sensor. The part is the Washer Fluid Reservoir Sensor.
Come on... Somebody must know answer to my question?

Hi - Can anyone tell me where I can get a replacement sponge that fits into the bottom of the washer fluid sensor unit, or tell me what it is made of so that I can perhaps fabricate one of my own. Electrically it seems to be working fine, I just need to retrofit the sponge, or whatever that it at the bottom. Mine is completely empty.
Thanks - Trevor
