usually it's ether upside down or the float filled up and sank
all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
I disconnected the wire from the sensor and bridged ...
the wire together - completed the circuit - eliminated the error and no longer have low washer warning - of course now I have to manually check to see when the washer fluid is low

I wound up having to do like Jeff on an 87 325 I used to own and just recently on my 525. Got tired of thething going off especially while going down a level road.

are all of you sure that your sensors aren't wrong side up? mine was "broken" like that until i realised that the wire harness is supposed to plug into the sensor with the sensor plug going downward....problem solved. it used to go off randomly on level roads, too.

Seems like I tried your method Ryan but I can't be sure (I've got CRS-Can't Remember ****) but I'll take a look at it next time I get a chance.
Thanks,

But God, do we have to have enough sense to check the washer fluid ourselves - how will I ever remember. (lol) Haven't checked mine yet - just thrilled to have a radiator again.

Mine worked fine for a few years then konked out...
the dealer in Canada wanted 120 bucks just for the sensor!!!! That was the days before I found the board and BMA - For 12o bucks I figured I could live without the warning - hasn't bugged me since
Thx for the thought though
