We had the pressure washer out today so i thought I would clean my fenderwells and undercarige from all the winter mud, dirt and etc. I had a fuel leak in the engine compartment a few weeks ago and i decided to try and clean some of the fuel off. I had the motor running while i did this. Then i shout it off and did some other things and when i started it again the water in fuel light is on and it will not go off. Is there a sensor or something that i may have knocked loose or what? Thanks for the help

yep, the sensor is connected to the bottom of the fuel filter. You could have torn a wire off either side of the connector if you were using a pressure washer. Check from the bottom of the filter, and follow the wires up to the connector and check the connections on both. Probably somthing simple like that.

Or u might have got some water in ur fuel filter somehow, use the drain thing on the bottom of the filter to drain out some of the liquid, really easy just lift up the drain plug with ur fingers and drain alittle liquid out.

You might just check to be sure the connector is dry first, and clean the contacts. Plug it back in and see if it's okay.

Simple and common problem. The connector to the sensor is wet.
Either dry it or wait for it to dry on it's own.

use some WD40 on the plug...

Yup, that must have been the problem. I let it sit for a couple hours and wammo! the light was gone. Thanks for the replies, i just love it when it is something simple.
