Rainx washer fluid damaging sensor
I replaced my washer fluid sensor 6 months ago.
Now I am having the same issue. Washer fluid light is coming on all the time even with the full washer fluid tank.
Today I realized that i have been using RainX washer fluid. After doing some research I learned that the fluid is creating a film on the sensor that causes a fault reading (no conductivity).
I wonder if I can clean it without taking it apart since it was a PIA to get to!
Has anyone else had this problem?

maybe just keep filling with water and sucking out old fluid with something ...
