If I ground it, the light comes right on. The sensor is new. Do I need a different new one? How do I test it? >> good to hear from you, Bill!!! Sounds like your sensor may now be : (. Test it by turning seeing if the little spade carries to ground when the motor is off, and does NOT carry to ground when the motor is running. OR just replace it, cheap and easy.
