+1, mine always stayed on for a day after a car wash. After I put the blower on it doesn't do it anymore. So, I say put a blower on and it should go away.

As you guessed, the floater has most likely sunk to the bottom. It happens all the time on our cars. You have two choices. You can try to clean the post it slides up and down on off a little with a toothbrush, which might work, or you can get a new reservoir. Or I guess a third choice is to continue to ignore it. Just be careful not to ignore an actual problem.
