Unhappy Low washer fluid light on LS400

Okay, give me a break. My fluid reserviour IS filled to the rim. Why is my warning light on? I disconnected my battery hoping it was just a weird electrical thing, but it is still there. Where is the relay switch, fuse, etc?????

yes that is correct remove the screws and 10 mm bolts when you see the sensor jumper the 2 wires if the light goes out you need a new sensor hope this helps

THanks everyone!! I went underneath, removed front corner of plastic shield, unplugged sensor (it's in the bottom of canister) and light went out. Waiting for irontoad's quote...
