Washer fluid dummy light stays on

Does anyone know how to trouble shoot it? I took the sensor out, and it looks like a magnetic type of switch like an alarm system switch (it is totally sealed and seperate from the fluid). On a system that works properly, would the light shut off, or turn on if I take the sensor away from the tank and leave it plugged in to the electrical connector? I was figuring that if it is supposed to go off, then I can take the sensor out and see if it goes off. If it goes off, then I know it is the part in the tank that is bad. If it stays lit, then I know it is the sensor. Can someone help? Am I on the right track? (if you can understand what the hell I am trying to say). And before I get the response.....Yes the tank is full!!! ;)

Thanks again!

Its a normally an open switch, when you close it (run out of fluid) it closes and turns on the light.
Might be a bad switch, add some washer fluid and turn the car off then back on it should go out if its working properly.
