Default How to disable "Low Wiper Fluid" indicator

For all the weight saving gurus, i just emptied my windsheild wiper fluid to get rid of dead weight. But now there is a low wiper fluid indicator showing. How can this indicator be turned off?

It uses a full gallon and ahalf which is probably around 10 lbs. Also, its in the very front of the car, reducing interial load on the car!

1 gallon = about/maybe 5lbs.

i can understand the concept..but it just doesnt seem worth it. get a CF hood.

Don't knock on this guy for trying to balance the front heavy Z! The windshield wiper bottle is in the very front of the car where every pound counts! And no as authentic dry carbon hood isn't going to save you much weight at all (though every pound counts!), the stock hood is aluminum.

1 gallon of water is 8.4 lbs, its safe to assume that windshield washer fluid has the same densiy as water. 1.5 gallons is nearly 13 lbs of the front right wheel! not a bad weight savings. Shave the rear wiper ,motor, tubing and youve got another 2 lbs or so.

What he /\ said. I have removed a few for various people. It saves about 12 pounds in front of the wheel centerline. About 4 times better than a CF hood.

I'm thinking the rear wiper weighs a little more than just 2 pounds....But i could be wrong...been a while since I took mine off.
