Headlamp Washer
Skid Mark - The Powerwash Pump, a separate pump in the bottom of the reservoir is fused by a 30 amp fuse (#7) in the engine compartment fusebox. Should you pull the fuse it will disable the pump but probably give you a failure code on the dash. (Could try and find out)
The other suggestion would do something similar to RCSign and block the fluid line to the headlights, or tap into the powerwash line and divert it back into the reservoir. Your pump would still be active with the line to the headlamps blocked, and could easily be reconnected in the future.

Does that fuse disable just the headlight washer or both?
Is this where it is? If so, which one?

Headlamp Washer Fuse
In the picture you posted, #7 fuse is the 30 amp fuse in the right bank (the shorter of the two banks of fuses), and is the only 30 amp fuse in the bank.
This fuse is dedicated to the headlamp washer pump for it to be powerful enough to produce the amount of water pressure to force the spray nozzles out and spray the headlamps.
As others have mentioned, it appears there are alternatives to disable the pump, without producing fault codes.

#7 pulled...no codes and no free eye wash courtesy of Coventry. but....and there's always a but...I noticed several other empty fuse sockets,which begs the question...what were/are those. Now I have to find a fuse box "description" or something that labels each fuse...anyone have that? Thanks in advance.
