Ranger Washer Fluid Low Warning
Summary of the thread
A 2012 Ford Ranger owner experienced a persistent 'Washer Fluid Low' warning despite the reservoir being full, and the windshield washer system was non-functional. Possible causes discussed included a faulty level sensor, a blockage, or a malfunctioning pump. The issue was resolved by visiting a workshop, where the problem was identified and fixed, restoring the system to normal operation.

That's a good point, I'll check for blockages. No, I can't hear the pump at all when I try to spray. Where was the blockage in your case? Was it something simple to fix?

Yep, sounds super similar to what I experienced. Given the error memory and the fact that the pump isn't making noise, I'd hazard a guess it's either the pump itself or a sensor issue. The blockage I had was actually in one of the spray jets, but if you can't hear the pump, that wouldn't be it. Honestly, for me, it was such a headache diagnosing, I just took it to a workshop. Saved me a ton of time. Probably best to get it checked out, could save you pulling your hair out!

Thanks for the advice! Sounds like a trip to the workshop is on the cards. It turned out that the wiper water level was too low. The problem was the windshield washer system no longer works and there was an error stored in the error memory. They charged me 25€ to fix it and everything's back to normal.

I had something similar happen in my Ranger recently. Does the pump make any noise when you try to use the washers? When you say it's full, are you sure it's actually flowing into the reservoir? I had a blockage one time that made it seem full, but the system couldn't draw from it.
