Where is the windshield washer fuse on a 2000 BMW 323 you?

My 2000 323iT wagon's fuse card shows that the washer system has THREE (!) fuses: #49 (5 amps) bottom left bank 4th from the center, #52 (30 amps) bottom left bank rightmost, #59 (30 amps) bottom right bank 7th from center. I don't know why there are three fuses stated on the card just for the the washer. I removed the 5 amp fuse (#49) because the washer was not working but as soon as I unplugged the fuse the alarm blared out! Reading through the manual did not tell me anything on how to avoid triggering the alarm. Maybe I should insert the key in the ignition in the OFF position. I'll try that tomorrow.
