Need Water Level warning -washer/water inj tank! Advice pls

[Blue_Joe 0]

Need to install a water level warning led into my dash to tell me when my water injection level is low. I'm using the standard Washer bottle for the Aquamist setup and have relocated the washer bottle elsewhere (actually inprocess of doing so!)

 

I know Henny said he had got one out of a volvo but need advice. I need to be able to modify my tank to take the sensor but not sure even where to start looking. Then have that light an led that I'm going to install in the dash!

 

Anyone????

Got a float switch all installed - to wire it up presumably I need to wire the float switch inbetween a 12v supply and the LED and the earth of the LED direct to an earth?

 

I'm not the best with electronics!

ignition live -> switch

Switch -> LED live

LED -ve -> earth
