Is it leaking?

Is it completely full?

If its not holding fluid, look at the connection in the bumper, common to leak there.

Check the sensor connection and make sure its connected and not corroded.

Most likely one of the 2 pumps leaking (or both) that sit in the resevoir. They have plastic housings that slide into the fluid resevoir, and crack over time and leak. I had the same problem. I cant find the DIY on audiworld that i used.. But you gotta take the drviers side wheel/liner off and take the bolts off holding the resevoir in.. Remove the hoses attatched and remove the container.. Remove the pumps and fix or replace them.. I used appoxy to seal the cracks, then wrapped the pump housings with electrical tape and all is good. Kinda a mcguiver fix, but its been over 6 months and still no leaks. Takes about an hour total. VERY common!

I dont know how a fuse would cause you to lose fluid???
