It is on the bottom exterior of the windshield washer reservoir. You get to it by removing the front passenger tire (rim), then removing the protective wheel well covering (you need to remove about 8 small screws that hold this covering onto the wheel well). It then stares you right in the face at the bottom of the reservoir. It has a wire connected to it, and another plastic connector holding it in place. Pop off the connector. Does anybody know the science behind how this thing senses? It does not penetrate into the reservoir, and seems to be designed to sense the fluid level by non-contact with the fluid. My dash message (low fluid level) goes out when I pull the sensor from the exterior of the reservoir body (even with the wire still attached, ignition on), but the message comes back on when I re-attach the sensor to the reservoir exterior, even with the fluid level full. Good Luck to all in all mechanic-related endeavors. GK
