Does the Tacoma have a "low windshield washer fluid" light in the instrument cluster?

The Tacoma does have a place to hold the gas cap though. I don't want to start anything, but the gasshole seems completely unnecessary to me.

Who cares about a wiper fluid light...
I NEED A LOW BLINKER FLUID WARNING LIGHT!!!

 

Does not seem like a "real" problem to me.

Admittedly, I now live in FL but I have been driving for a few decades and lived over half my life in Oklahoma where wind, rain, sleet, ice, as well as the occasional snow happen during winter months.

I still open the hood each time I fill the tank, excluding a "top-off" when traveling. With the hood open I can, and do, check the washer fluid, oil, radiator level, and look around for leaks and other problems. I guess I was taught that these things are important and still feel that way.

I see very few people with cars that have matching body panels do this. Maybe I am just old and crazy. Taught all 3 of my kids to do the same, though the girls are less than likely to check anything besides how they look.

 

The solution is simple. Check that shit every 2-3 days or once a week and that's it.

 

Yeah. I grew up in PA (22 loooong years). In the 80s / 90s, we had mosquito bumps for washer reservoirs with no sensors.

 

A review of your owners manual will show you the features your truck does and doesn't have I think.

In the meantime, consider yourself fortunate that you are young enough to have washers at all. Or wipers with an electric motor rather than vacuum operated, and at least 2 speeds. Or even intermittent wipers.

We invented all those things for you youngsters. Just like we invented the internet.

Old guys rule.

Question is, what are you doing to improve the next generation? Bitcoin mining and 3d multi player shooter games aren't gonna get it done.

 

Here's a novel idea: Visually check your fluids before you run out! You know, personal responsibility and all that...

 

Say it ain't so!!

 

I've had in excess of 50 cars and not one of them had this so called low washer fluid sensor..

 

My wife used to have a minivan that had an indicator. Damned thing gave me hell and after a week of trying to figure it out. Decided to replace the faulty thing (sensor was part of the bottle), clearly bad cause the reservoir was full. I found out there was on in the back. When trying to order the replacement part.

The back one was empty.

2 bins one dummy light

 

I live in the northeast, use my washer fluid often. That’s how I know to fill it up.

 

I'm pretty sure my 1st gen has one but I normally top it off before it empties. It does hold a whole gallon which is nice.

 

I just want to say thank for intermittent wipers. I owe you!

 

Where are the wipers? Mine came without.

 

I see a chance for a new MOD/HACK..

 

Mine yells and beeps at me constantly on the info screen if it's low
