Washer Fluid Level Sensor - 2001 V70 T5

Post by as400jockey »

It's always showing 'low'. It's $50 to replace it, plus pulling the shroud around the wheel.

Can I short it out? It doesn't look like the old float switch from the '98 vintage... Can I cut or short the wires? But which one?

go to hollands pic n pull in billerica, probably $10 or 15.
I'd take a saw and cut it out, they're junked cars anyway.
i used to spend an afternoon there harvesting parts, they have dozens of volvos.
