Cut the wiring that goes to the connector in the washer bottle and splice the wires together. I can't remember if there were 2 or 3 wires on that connector, as I did it a while ago and no longer have the car.

or just replace the sensor its a common probNYC LSC said:
I bought the sensor from Max a month or so ago. It was 12 bucks. Took asbout 6 minutes to change. If you take the headlight cover out from under the hood its on top of the reservoir closest to the center of the car. Its the only thing there with wires on it. Ill try to get a pic tomorrow during daylight if you would like.

serious........maybe it got stuck or something

I did this today on my '94.
It looks like the 2nd gen cars are easier to do that the 1st gen if thats what your pic is of...
I couldn't get it out more than about 1/2" till it hit the bumper bar. I had to remove the bolts holding the power steering cooler so I could move it a bit for room, then three bolts that hold the washer container bracket the the bumper, as well as one up top for the neck of it, so I could 'turn' it some to pull the sensor all the way out. I also took the plastic panel that is held in with the push pins up top (the one with the doors for the lights) which is super easy, just so I could see more and do it from the top, but don't think it would be totally necessary (I was afraid of breaking the new sensor after the old one came out in two pieces!) I sprayed the new seal & sensor lip with a lil silicone lube and it slid right in... It only took about 1/2 hour-45minutes to figure it out and complete the job, and I was taking my time to see what I was doing...
Scared me for a minute after I did this and turned the car on only to see the low washer fluid warning again... then I realized it indeed was low on fluid so topped it up and I'm good to go now

If your reset button is broke, get another center section from the junk yard. Those piece are always left in the car around here.
