Fluence Washer Fluid Sensor Issue

Hi. I have a 2009 Renault Fluence with a gasoline engine and about 57000 km on it. Recently, the washer fluid low warning appeared. I checked the fluid level, and it was low, so I topped it off. The warning is still there, and now the windshield washer system isn't working. I checked the error memory and found an error related to the windshield washer system. Any ideas?

A 2009 Renault Fluence owner experienced a persistent washer fluid low warning and a non-functional windshield washer system despite topping off the fluid. The issue was suspected to be a blockage or a faulty sensor. After consulting a technician, it was confirmed that the sensor was indeed faulty, and replacing it resolved the problem.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

That's odd. You've already checked the obvious – the fluid level. Did you perhaps overfill it? Sometimes these systems can be quite sensitive. Is there any chance the nozzles are blocked with debris, preventing the fluid from spraying?

Overfilling is not possible in this vehicle, it has an overflow outlet. About the nozzles, where exactly do I check them, and what kind of debris are we talking about? Is there a specific procedure?

Sorry for the late response. I suspected a blockage as this has happened to me before with a different vehicle. If the system is still experiencing issues despite topping up the fluid, I highly suggest taking your Renault to a qualified technician. It is possible the sensor itself is faulty, or there's an electrical issue preventing the pump from working. This may require diagnostic tools to properly assess.

Thanks for the advice. I took it to a local shop, and it turned out that the sensor was faulty, just as you suspected. Replacing it cost me about 25€. Problem solved!
