No LOW Washer fluid light? WHY?
Ok so my 04 with the black washer reservoir has now low fluid warning light yet you can find where it would light up if it had the sensor in the gauges so why did Mazda think that putting a solid color fluid tank without a indicator light for low fluid be such a great idea. I unplugged the one electrical thing I saw down there(turned out to be the motor) So no help there. My car is the sport by the way so nothing fancy but really they skipped out on something that cheap. End rant

PM mazmart, they can probably get you a clear one.
you must love to use the wiper fluid if you're running out...

I mean I like the tank no problems there but why couldn't they have added the sensor if you look in the gauge cluster the light for low fluid in the washer reservoir is there.

If you run out of oil, it will destroy your engine. There's a light for that.
If you run out of fuel, it will starve your engine. There's a light for that.
If you run out of coolant, it will seize your engine. There's a light for that.
If you run out of washer fluid.....well then you're just going to have to look at the splattered bug until you get home. You don't need a light for that. :-)

No what Im saying is because they decided to go with a black color reservoir why didn't they add the sensor since there was a light already integrated into the dash for it thats all? Its not like I'm going to start another "Done" thread because of it lol

I can't see why my Mazdaspeed Protege had the light but my RX-8 doesn't.

I zoom therefore I am.
Glass Science Rain Clear applied from time to time will really help keeping the windshield clean. Rain steams right off and almost nothing sticks to my windshield anymore.

Was the sensor just fitted to certain models of RX8 as mine definitely has one (it came on the other day to tell me it was getting low)?
Oh before anyone asks yes it is still the original black tank on a 2004 6 speed.

Not too often that you find firm indications of this kind of "ummm....errrr...well let's...".

Umm you guys seriously don't have a low washer fluid light?
Maybe it's a US thing but up in Canada we have them and they work. There's a sensor in the bottom of the tank, maybe your sensor is fried?
Anyways when I did my OMP install and put 2 smaller tanks I relocated the washer fluid level sensor to my premix tank, and now my low washer fluid light goes off when my premix is low.
