1996 T-Bird Low Washer light

This light is driving me crazy! About 20 seconds after I start the car the light comes on and of course I made sure the fluid is full. This started after I ran the fluid low on a really cold day (high of 12) and has been going for about a week. Any help out there?

Thanks for the reply and yes it has warmed up, we have had temps in the 50's recently. I was wondering if I disconnected the battery for a while if the computer or sensor would re-set? Any ideas?

The sensor for the resevoir may have failed. Try unplugging it.

I had the same problem during this past winter (Boston area) - considered getting a replacement sensor through Rock Auto - then the problem went away once it warmed up - along with the power antenna not fully lowering or extending (frozen water?) - now about that Door Ajar light - which I suspect may be due to wear on the lower driver's door pin - got the pin replacement kit and also the door holder (courtesy of Harbor Freight Tools - $69) - just need some warm weather and motivation...
