Coolant Level Sensor Question

My add coolant light keeps coming on. I just bought the car, but it has a pretty recent atkins rotary rebuild in it. After doing a lot of searches on here and asking some questions I went away to test the coolant level sensor.

I found a thread and it had this info:

my bet is what spo's said..the wire just jumps across from the sensor to the harness.and isnt a very nu=ice connection inho...
first check the sensor when its wet it will be 12- so basicaly when its wet if you hook a multimeeter to 12+ and the neg to the sensor it will read batt voltage...

if sensor checks out ok then hook a 12- to the terminal in the harness the little black one by the ps pump but under the elbow...
is that dosent shut it off..its somthing further in the car

I took the plug off that runs to the sensor, I then ran a wire from the side that goes to the car to the neg on the battery. Is this correct?

The light still came on, if I'm doing the test right, what should I check? Where else does this wire connect into things? I'd like to see if maybe something came loose when the car was shipped from the east coast.

Thanks
