Exclamation Poured fluid into the wrong tank...

Well from the title you probably should be able to get the idea I did a bit of a **** up yesterday...

With me purchasing my evo recently, it finally came time to refill up my windscreen sprayer tank and being in the rush I was I popped the hood thinking the pump tank would be located in the engine bay (as all my previously owned cars had been)...

With this said I popped the hood in the hurry I was in and located what I thought to be the windscreen tank and ended up pouring a jug of water into it...suffice to say when I got into the car and went to use the wipers to get some bird **** off my window I was suprised to see no water coming out of my sprayers...

Soo after finally finding the proper location of the tank and filling it up, I pose to you this question.

What the hell have I poured water into and what have I gotten myself into?

On another/or possibly the same note, as I was driving that same afternoon I put the water in the unknown tank my SRS light started popping on. It now pops on and off as I drive randomly.

Some help would be appreciated. I've drawn on the below image to show where I poured the water.

That was my thought as it looked like the cap that my sti had for the intercooler spayer, but I wasn't aware that Evos even had intercooler sprayers?

Thanks though.

Sounds like one of your airbags or sensors or wires to connect the too has a problem.

When the light is on take it to musu and get they to plug in the computer and do a down load, that way it will at least say where the problem is.

It's not my engine bay, just some random google search


From what I understand driving with the SRS light on won't cause any damage, i'm currently planning on getting a few bolt ons done then tuned, so at the point in time I get the car tuned i'll get them to look at the SRS light.

Unless you get in an accident and the bags don't deploy
