Anybody know if the 2016 Mustang Ecoboost Premium has a "Low or Empty Wiper Fluid Level" light or message on the dash. Ran empty today, nothing came up

Don't think so. No need, seems like unnecessary electronics to me. It's wiper fluid. Fill out up when your out, or before. Then again i don't use wiper fluid, might refill every decade or so.

Never had a car that told me i had low wiper fluid, and i hope i never do.

That wasn't the question. If its supposed to, I'm still under warranty to have it fixed

I just happened to have the manual open for a question I posted and checked. On page 86 it says that that there is a Low Washer Fluid Level Warning Lamp in the instrument cluster and that "It illuminates when the washer fluid is low."

The manual is for the 2019 Mustang so I couldn't say with certainty that the 2016 has it, but I'd assume so. Check the manual (download it from the ford site and search it as that's easier than flipping through it) to make sure on your particular year.

What? No low washer bottle alert? Well that's the limit right there. I'm putting my up for sale. I can't believe I bought a car that doesn't have a low washer fluid alert on the dash.

RTFM - It's a technical term.

No, it does not have a indicator light for wiper fluid. I checked the manual in my car to confirm. In the warning indicator section it is not listen with the other warning indicator descriptions.

I don't know how you will survive without it, how will you ever know when the wiper fluid is out. Good luck.

Better be careful.

WINDSHIELD WASHERS
Note: Do not operate the washers when the washer reservoir is empty. This may cause the washer pump to overheat.

At least these issues are better than deciding to go to battle with the trusty bronze sword or the new fangled iron one.

Maybe the washer bottle should have a 'Dip Stick' or maybe it does ?
