Went to clean my windshield and only a little fluid came out then nothing.

I thought these vehicles have a light to tell you when it's getting low? I see one in the dash, do I have a bad sensor or do only the higher trims have the sensor?

Should be able to look at your tank and see.
 






mine has a dash light, but no apparent sensor.
 






Mine had a leak and was empty with no dash light showing. Fixed it my smearing a bunch of clear silicone sealant all around the base and hoses.
 






Well it's in the owner's manual and it says "if equipped" so it must only be on the high end trims...like EB and Limited...

mighty rude to have the light come on with the rest of the lamp checks then.
 






I’d say look and see if you have the sensor in the tank. I have an XLT and I do have the sensor.
 






None of my Explorer’s or Mounties had this.
 












I also had a First Gen Sport. I didn’t realize you had a third gen.
 












I go by “new posts”. I highly recommend you request I be banned. ;). I’m the worst.
