When you tested the switch without the float in proximity did it show no continuity and when you let the float come down and get in close proximty did the switch close and show continuity on your ohm meter? It's a magnetic switch and the float closes the circuit and connects the signal to the warning module and sounds the piezo horn under your dash.

Thanks for your reply fits. I ran the test a week ago and don't remember exactly... I had the tank out, with the tank upright there was connectivity between the contacts, I then turned the tank upside down, heard what I thought was the float flop down - there was then no connectivity between the contacts.
I hope this makes sense and you can offer some guidance and/or explanation
