Cool

Maybe I missed it. Did one of you contact Acura? What do they say? I'll bet if we called them on it. It would come back. At least as an option. What about it???

85 mazda 626... low washer light--BRIGHT RED...low fuel light--DIM YELLOW. Hmmm, which do YOU think is more important? Scared the crap out of me the 1st time it came on!

94 mazda 626 had it also, and it was yellow.

you see people, we here in canada are forced to pay an extra 14,000 dollars just to have DRL, a bigger windsheild washer tank, the low windsheild washer warning, a "Better" immobilizer and the bilinigual navigation...

Now, i would gladly take the 14,000 savings and buy your USA acura TLS anyday....

but yeah, you guys should have the low warning light as it is a safety issue...

Pretty sure my USDM 2002 TL-S (which is sitting in the drive way) does NOT have this indicator.

And according to the Owners Manual, for the 2002 TL/TL-S ONLY the Canadian model had the Low Washer Fluid Indicator. : Oh!, Can-i-duh:

But then again, if I *did* have it, I'd probably never know it, 'cause my fluid has never run out. We don't get that "snow" stuff or if we do, we stay home.

imo, It would of been cheaper to make canadian, and usa cars the same. Now they have to have 2 different cpu's, washer resevors, harnesses. If they wanted to really cut corners, they would have made the usa cars with same parts but left the sensor out. Make it a dealer installed option like Honda does with foglights, rearview camera kits, alarms,etc. Honda dealer installed options are all plug and play.

Hey man congrats! I was talking about Kennedy calling you rbf341. A mere oversight, but funny nonetheless.
