Default Windshield washer light?

Ok, so my windshield washer light is on with the bottle full. I replaced the pump about 6 mos ago, and it worked fine for a few months. The pump still works, just have that annoying light telling me I am low on fluid when I'm not.

Instead of buying another pump, is there a way to short the sensor some way so the light turns off? I'm plenty capable of filling the bottle when it's actually low.

Thanks in advance for any ideas/info.

Well after some digging I opted to simply cut the sensor wire for the pump rather then buy a new one. Pump still works, and no more annoying fountian display on the dash.

Brown wire with blue stripe on my application. 97 A8Q
