windshield washer

I had this problem when they added the NISMO CAI to my Z. I had the dealer check it and they ordered another switch as they felt it was bad.

I had this problem when they added the NISMO CAI to my Z. I had the dealer check it and they ordered another switch as they felt it was bad. The replacement did the same. Well I reached up and rotated the float switch 180 Degrees, and the light went out, and everything works great now. The type float is different than the stock washer bottle, and for some reason when they put the kits together it seems they install the float upside down. If you just grab the connector on the bottle, and gently/firmly rotate it it will not leak, and the light will work fine.

EDIT: the stock switch is a standpipe type (float contained in a vertical cage), the NISMO CAI is more a float type that forms an L-shape when the fluid is low.
