Default Washer warning

Oh MY GOD I'M GOING TO RUN OUT OF WASHER FLUID!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not really a problem most of the time
However my car has the warning stuck on perminantly flashing at me with it's annoyingly friendly, yet strangely germanic insistence that I do something about it, which is really begining to annoy me in a less than rational way.

I have taken out the washer sensor. (pop out the rhs headlight, rip your hands to bits on the rough edges of all the plastic and pull)
I have shorted the sensor wires together.
I have tried the laptop to reset the generic codes but it keeps coming back.
I don't know the specific code for "shut the hell up I don't need to know that you don't know how much fluid I have, yet you think you do)

Since this is a less than vital warning any idea how to fix/bypass/disable the sensor. Or any idea what the exact code for this warning is and can it be disabled
I thought joining the wires would do it but alas no

any ideas???
