Clio Washer Fluid Sensor Issue

My 2021 Renault Clio hybrid is showing a 'washer fluid low' warning, but the reservoir is full! The windshield washer system is dead. The spray jets aren't blocked. Could it be the washer motor? Any ideas?

I had a similar issue with my Clio. Have you checked the level sensor? They can be temperamental. When you say full, do you mean completely full, right up to the brim? They can be quite sensitive. Are you sure you are using the correct washer fluid and not just water?

Yeah, I topped it right up. And the fluid is the proper stuff, not just water. Where is the level sensor located? Is it easy to get to? It seems weird on a car with only 75863 km.

On my Clio, the level sensor is integrated with the washer fluid pump, usually at the bottom of the reservoir. Access can be tricky; you might need to remove the wheel arch liner. Considering the symptoms and the error code, I'd recommend a quick visit to a workshop. They can diagnose the sensor and pump functionality. It's a common problem.

I took it to a local garage. Turns out the sensor was faulty, just like you suspected. 25€ later, and it's sorted. Appreciate the help!
