Default Low washer fluid warning light

This warning light came on (98 LS400) so I added fluid but the light will not go off. I searched the forums but could not find a solution. If this is a bad sensor, could I replace it or must it be done by the dealer? Where is it located? Thanks for your help.

you didn't search, there's a few threads on this.

the float is stuck , either go in there and take it all apart and try to fix it, or unplug the sensor to stop the warning light.
