I just saw another forum where a guy said you could just cut the wire to the sensot to keep the circuit open. Seems like the simplest solution.

Anyone else try this?

 

Or just unplug the connector to the sensor. I just replaced mine and experimented/verified this.

 

I would bet that every other luxury 4-door has this.
Regardless, also noted is that crappy wiper fluid can cause this to clog, as well as clog the wiper spray and slow it down. That's my next item to figure out.

 

This just started happening to me last weekend. Filled up the reservoir and that dumb ass light keeps coming back on. So annoying. Why the hell did Infiniti think we needed a sensor for something as trivial as wiper fluid?!?!?

 

It is a float-type sensor, easy to reach from under the car if you remove a small section of fender well lining. You will immediately see it underneath when you do.
A cheap part... (about $15) and it will certainly cost far less to do it yourself than a dealer (about $250/hr).
You do not need a video or multiple pics. Couldn't be easier. It's a nit.
Points straight down at the bottom of the reservoir. Use a strong set of medium-size needle nose pliers and pull straight down. It part gets loose inside the tank, you can maneuver it out with your finger.
Here's that it looks like:

 

So you're saying you simply remove the electrical connector, then grasp the part of the float exposed at the bottom exterior of the reservoir with a pliers, and just yank it straight down? That would mean it is a snap-fit, or friction fit with a rubber gasket that prevents the washer fluid from leaking out. And I expect installation of the new one is to shove it home firmly with your hand into the hole in the bottom of the reservoir until it is properly seated?

 

Wow ty for the link too man, I can definitely use that

 

whatever you do, keep it up, you're very knowledgeable

 

Dang Avedis I've been all over this forum and you've got your fingerprints on just about every discussion. How do you get all those in depth diagrams of our cars and the different areas of them?

 

I should wash my hands more often.

Oh Lawd. I'm gonna get it, After fighting that pos 01 isuzu rodeo transmission swap and succeeding with what I wanted to do there, I feel like I can beat anything. It was actually a transmission solenoid swap, filter, fluid and gasket change on a 21 year old transmission that's never had any love in its life

 

the funny thing is, all that is in there is straight water. It was low and I filled it with just plain kentwood water and then now all this crap.

Oh yeah, I just joined the ranks of the SprintBooster clan. Well I ordered it, so I haven't fought the install yet, but I got it based off of all you knuckleheads reviews. I trust yall tho, so I know I'm good and it'll be good

 

If you have the proper tools, a physique like a spider monkey, and grip strength strong enough to tear a phone book in half, you'll have no trouble. If not, may God be merciful.

 

I recently had the same problem. Luckily mine was repaired under warranty. The Infiniti dealer said it was a faulty windshield wiper fluid sensor.

 

For me it was the sensor and weve had a few other Q50s come into our shop and it was the sensor too

 

Did you guys read the thread that was linked in post 3 above? That thread implies it is not a float type level switch and the type of fluid used seems to matter.

 

I just got around to reading this thread. I have used Rain-x brand recently. Very interesting.

 

If the washer fluid level is low, you won't get a low washer level warning for 3 minutes after turning on the ignition. Since you've filled the reservoir and you're still getting a low-level alert, I'd say your level switch is faulty. It's located on the bottom of the reservoir, but you'll have to remove the driver's side front fender protector to access the switch.

It's a float-type switch so I'd check to make sure the float is freely moving as it has a small magnet in the float that pulls in a reed switch when the level gets low. If it is moving properly, then you might check the continuity of the switch by connecting a multimeter to the switch and tilting the switch back and forth to engage the magnet on the reed switch.

 

I thought when we discussed this a few years back it was determined that the type of washer fluid affected the level sensor? Or has it since been determined that the level sensor is a float in all model years and the type of fluid was a red herring?

 

Like I said it's a first world problem so I guess nobody is jumping in, cuz we'll live. lol

 

FYI on Windshield Washer fluid an Low washer fluid light

I have a 2018 Q50 Red sport. 2 days ago my low washer fluid light came on, I checked and it was low, so I stopped at a parts store and picked up some fluid (done this 100 times before, no big deal). I wasn't close to my usual parts store were I usually just pick up the cheap blue "PEAK" washer...

Same problem here, don't know how to solve waiting for a good Samaritan
