Default Washer fluid message

The message for low washer fluid came up and after filling it, the message still keeps coming up every time I start the car. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

hard to say without knowing the year make or model. without knowing specifics...here is some general information. good luck.

most systems will turn the light on when the washer fluid is empty or the wiring is open. disconnect the switch connector on the washer reservoir and jumper the contacts together...if the light goes out...the fault is in the switch in the reservoir...replace the reservoir.
