Title: The Fiero has a washer fluid sensor?!
Post by: GTRS Fiero on March 16, 2019, 10:30:50 am
I see such a sensor listed on fierosails, but cannot find it.  The part number on the site returns O2 sensors, wiper motors, and washer fluid sensor connectors.

Where is the sensor?  Even if we have such, there is no indicator for it.  I'm more worried about low coolant, anyway.

I know that Oliver Scholz once built a "low washer fluid warning" with indicator in the dash. He calls it the "Washer fluid telltale".
You can find the article in English here:

I'm not sure that running out of washer fluid is a concern for me.  The only time I wan out was after getting T-boned, because the tank was cracked.  Filling the tank would not have fixed the gaping hole.

The Fiero doesn't have a low fluid sensor, nor does it have an indicator icon on the instrument panel.  The fluid pump only has 2 wires.  Power and ground.  A low fluid sensor would best be located in the side of the tank.  Melanie's Beretta had one and whenever the fluid level dropped below the sensor, you had to remove it and get the air bubble out to make the light go off.  So, I guess if you wanted to install one, do a 7730 ECM swap from a Beretta, then pin in the circuit and install a sensor.

I have the 7730 ECM.  The one in there now is from a Grand Prix, but I have a Beretta ECU, also.  No interest in another nanny, though.
