Water in fuel light won't go out

I've pushed the the drain on the bottom of the filter and there is no water. I've taken the sensor off and tried it dry, the light goes off. I dip it in a plastic cup of diesel the light stays off. I put it back in the filter and fill it with diesel, the light stays off. I screw it half way on to the filter housing and the light comes. I put it back together and am running the truck but I don't like it. The truck, a 96, has full power. Anybody had this problem?

maybe the sensor is going bad? mine was replaced right after i bought it since it like was stuck open and pouring out diesel. So i took it back to the dealer and made them fix it, they just ordered a whole new unit. My light was not stuck on as in your situation though. good luck.

sensor

I'm thinking maybe the wire is grounding somewhere in the harness
