check that the plug on the plug on the water bottle has'nt been pulled off or damaged.

also trace the wires back by hand and see if they have been trapped somewhere

i've got a spare if you need one.  :y

The plug is under the bottle but it's not uncommon for the sensor in the bottle to fail.

pull the plug off the bottom of the bottle and short out the pins with a paper clip mate.  :y

Is the sensor replaceable or is it integral  with bottle?

just had a look at my spare and i would say your better off changing the bottle.
looks like the sensor is fitted at the factory and then the bottle top is stuck on top somehow  :y
