**Check Fluids + fog light problem**

hey i got a check windshield wiper fluid and coolant level messages at approx 10k miles..i checked both and they seem to be fine...i topped off the coolant a little and the messages still show...do these automatically come up when Service A approaches?...i tried resetting them and they dont want to. second...do these actually have sensors? or does the computer jus tell u to check them after a certain amount of miles?

Third, the bottom cover of my front bumper/ the plastic bit got ripped off somehow...and my fog light is missing on the drivers side. so i think i might have ripped off the harness too or something? i got to jack my car up and have it checked out, im hoping that the light bulb harness didnt get ripped. any idea on the price of this? both plastic cover for in front of the wheel and a new harness possibly?.....jus my luck.

Try topping off your windshield wiper fluid. for some reason when that is low you also get a coolant level message. Its happened to a few people.

The bottom cover of the front bumper cost $31.39 Happened to me a few months ago.

yea well i dont think ive ever used my water wiper fluid at all since i got the car...weird..and my bad, my actual fog light isnt missing...jus the bulb is..and i cant seem to locate the harness at this moment..ill have to dig for it when i get some daylight tomarrow. i think i might not have put the bulb in proper and it fell out and when the plastic underbody got ripped off that it must have taken the bulb with it...
