Sounds like the wires are shorting out on something, or the sending unit or the float inside the water jug is starting to go bad....

Mine does the same thing. There's a sensor near the bottom of the front of the washer fluid tank. And when taking a turn, the fluid just splashes around, telling the sensor that the fluid is low

I got tired of watching my Low Washer Fluid light flashing all the time while I'm rock crawling with the jug half way full, so i just unplugged the sensor on top the Jug , no more light flash in my face....
