Low level warning light for screenwash fluid - W124

[ArtistsRifles]

Am I correct in thinking that the warning light for the screen/headlamp wash fluid should go out once the reservoir is refilled??
Only I did ours at the weekend and it's still on - this makes me think, if the answer to the above is yes, that maybe a sensor float has stuck and requires some "percussive maintenance".........

Yes it should and as you say "percussive maintenance" could be the way forward.

Sorted - in a highly embarrasing way! :Oops: :Oops:

Checked the reservoir - and it was empty again so I filled it up and listened - sure enough, sound of running water. After a bit of digging it transpired that the hose to the headlamp washers had come off :Oops:

Put it back on and pushed it home firmly - now all is well......

Teach me to check first before making assumptions :Oops: :Oops:

Hope you hit it anyway - just in case!

Such things seem to happen to me more often than I would like

A human at last!

I'd still take the advice about some 'percussive persuasion' but apply it to the whole car just in case!!!
