if your water bottle frozz up the the switch may have been damaged.

Errr, that is incorrect... ...Check Brakelight, if it doesn't go out, will be brake switch.

Brake Light is a bulb/circuit fault.

Jan 2011 at 17:52 no ideas about the washer level only coming up on switch off jamie its baffling me and its only on turning ignition off, like the other warnings that remind you that you havent done anything about them, doesnt come up on start up or whilst the car running
