Finally it came on and stayed on for good.



I added a whole jug of the orange Rainx and it still didn't reset the light. I stopped by a dealership on my way home and the guy working the desk just shook his head and said, "Read your owners manual". I almost walked about without saying a word but luckily there was a service tech grabbing some paperwork from behind the counter and said that there was a bulletin or notice or something that came out about that. Anyway it has to do with the propylene glycol content of the fluid messing with the sensor. He said anything with a high alcohol content would work.





Also he suggested adding a tablespoon of regular table salt to the fluid reservoir. After a few days it would mix and dissolve into the fluid and change the chemistry around to prevent it from messing with the sensor....





I'll give it a try and let you all know how it works.
