Windshield washer

Hey when i bought my car i found out the taillight bulbd was out so I got the guy to change it for me. However after I took it home, I found out that the windshield washer fluid light never went out even though I filled it up. Ithink when the guy was replacing the bulb, he must have messed up the sensor or something because I hear that its around where the taillights are. Anyone know how to reset or fix the sensor? any help would be appreciated thanks!

PS. I drive a 2003 1.7EL, not a civic, but close enough

That guy is a retard then, because the washer fluid bottle is at the front of the car not the back, and the level sensor is in the bottle. You don't fix the sensor, you just replace them.

As long as you get fluid coming out, you got nothing to worry about lol.

maybe he drained the headlight fluid and replaced it with blinker fluid.

I know for my audi, i have to use a special fluid because its euro. I'd assume that japanese must have special fluid as well.

i'd contact your dealer regarding this issue.
