There is a connector near the top of the reservoir right next to where the filler neck inserts into the main reservoir body. If you disconnect this connector, you disconnect both the washer pump and the washer level switch. The extension harness going to the bottom of the reservoir is for the washer level switch (the other goes to the pump which should be obvious). Not terribly difficult.

However, I'm not sure disconnecting it will disable the warning light.

Thank you for the reply. Is it possible to disconnect the extension harness for the level sensor at a connector up at the top of the reservoir, or would I have to disconnect it at a connector located on the sensor at the bottom of the reservoir?

If you disconnect the connector up top, you will disconnect the washer level switch and also the washer pump, which means you won't be able to use the washer fluid. If you disconnect on the bottom (can probably do this by removing the front bumper instead of the wheel and fender liner), then you leave the washer pump connected allowing you to continue to use washer fluid on your windshield.

Got it. Do you know how these sensors work, and if I can try to simply clean it while it is installed?
