My 98 did the same thing. I bought a new washer level switch, not a big deal to install. Make sure you drain your washer tank, I used a turkey baster to get the liquid down, and on the rear of the tank is a switch that just pushed in. The part number is 22110978 and is listed as just indicator. Hope this helps, and the price was 45.69

i had same problem. Then one day when filling up I noticed the plug was loose.

It was full when I filled it but plug came loose when I was driving..

Sounds stupid, but it was the problem

I had this happen after I pulled the tank for cleaning. Forum member told me I probably had the sensor upside down. The connection clip goes down, opposite of what I would have thought. Turned it over problem solved.
