rjfranken Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) I am getting tired of my 89 warning me every minute that my washer fluid is low (OK I'll fill it, just not right now). Is there any way to override the alert for the rest of the drive?Bob Edited February 2, 2010 by rjfranken (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawja Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Well add washer fluid. If it is warning you every few minutes use up more washer fluid. You're probably right on the usage-edge so the alert keeps getting cycled as the fluid level moves around with vehicle motion making the car alert you each time the threshold is crossed.But again I'd just fill up the washer fluid tank and be done with it.

rjfranken Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) Well yes, just not right now. I was hoping for a more direct approach in telling "the car" and other warnings (like EO26) to "Pipe down, I know your there"! It drives the wife crazy listening to the constant beep; she almost doesn't want the other 89 I got for her. I've been after that EO26 for months.ThanksBob Edited February 2, 2010 by rjfranken (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 See 8A-87-3 of the service manual..... the contact inside the washer fluid closes with low fluid level. By unpluging the connection it will no longer warn you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry yarnell Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Can't you turn off the BEEP from the CRT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-a-n-i-e-l Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I just addes a time delay drop out to the circuit. This allows the circuit to trigger but not until the fluid is been low for a set amount of time. I use 20 seconds. This allows the warning to work, but insures it is really low and not at the sloshing point. It did cost about $20 dollars to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Is it an actual level sensor or contacts ? If contacts you may need to add a conductive solution. On the MGR there is a low water level sensor in the little resovoir. Adding distilled water does not turn off warning until coolant gets a chance to mix. (Pint of H2O added to a 50-50 mix is not going to hurt anything, need to mix up my own 50-50, gal of the real stuff plus gal of distilled is considerable cheaper than that premix) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89REATTAJIM Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I believe the touch screen has a function for turning the beeper off. Like others, I just keep the fluids full = no beep........... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By doing ths you only see the warming one time after the car has been started. A lot better than every time you accelerate or brake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still prefer to do my P M every 2 weeks, checking and adding fluids as needed. By so doing, I never am bothered by the warning screen & beeping, haven't had to screw around with the wiring, and have saved enough $$$ to spend an afternoon watching sports at the pub. I believe the phrase is: "Whatever floats your boat", or something to that effect...... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjfranken Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Settle you guys. I filled it. I am just trying to understand how to fiddle with the programing to do my bidding. I'll consider this case closed. Enjoy the Big Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
