Nothing to do, then, but see if you can trace the wiring and look for breaks. Take a multimeter and check for continuity. I'll bet you can also use the multimeter and find the signal wire for the sending unit. Use a t-pin to carefully backprobe the wires on the harness and find the one which varies as you move the float arm up and down. Most likely it is a fault in the wiring, though there's a possibility of a cluster problem as well.

I have my doubts whether that's it, but since it's free, worth a try
