How do I reset the windshield washer low light on the dash of my 2012 Chrysler 300?

The light will go out when the washer fluid tank is filled, if it is full then the level sensor is defective and you need to install a new one, it is located in the washer fluid tank.

1996 jeep grand Cherokee hood ajar warning display flashing on center of dash I cannot find hood switch is there one.

The Grand Cherokee has a warning display. The low washer fluid warning is a blinking windshield on the outline of the jeep in the center console display. It is confusing and could be easily falsely interpreted as a hood ajar warning. Fill the window washer and srr if warning goes away.
