Bad sensor? I have had to replace a couple of them in the past.

While you are checking the sensor to see if it needs cleaned or replaced, check the plug and wiring . IIRC, one side should have power in the run position. Hook up the meter, then wiggle the wires to make sure power stays constant.
My low coolant sensor (probably works the same) and the pigtail needed replaced from too small battery sliding around before I got it.

You sure you are not talking about the low coolant sensor on the stock overflow tank?

87-89 GT only.

There was a 4-light warning display that only came on those models. The pod contained a Low coolant, low oil, low fuel and washer fluid warning light.

ONLY 87-89 GT's have the washer fluid resevioir with a sensor. Pretty rare part so hard to replace. If the light it on, your best bet is to simply unplug it and just let it go.

Pull the driver's wheel and fender liner out to access the plug.

Edit: 94+ cars have them as well
