Hmm. I think on the 05-07's it was part of the message center. We have the little green lcd screen in the gauge cluster. I think it says "washer fluid low". I thought on the 08's that they would include the same message in the little readout on the top of the center dash. Maybe yours isn't working or isn't empty???

Humm, interesting. I pulled up the manual online, there is no dedicated icon for fluid, and no mention of any warning or message. It says not to run it dry, and check fluid regularly. I tried this yesterday, I don't know one's supposed to do that?! The resivour is inside the body, it can't been seen, the fill tube is long and I could peer down into it, but no way of determing depth Guess we need a stick like at gas stations to determine level?

So maybe the opposite of my Expedition, after filling up the near gallon capacity, it seems like 3 washes later it's beeping at you "Low washer fluid" !!!
