Ralph,
I assume that you are using the float type switch- you will probably need to
remove it, and clean the pivot points of foreign debris, I used to spec
these in equipment that we designed, but changed to the solid state liquid
detecting switches instead for the exact reason that you are stating- the
float types hang up sometimes, an sometimes the floats will leak, and then
they sink..... if you are interested in the solid state units, "Gems" makes
them, and you can get them from McMaster Carr for about $80.

Subject: REFLECTOR:Sump Tank Low Level Light Problems
I have been trying to get in the air for the past several weeks, but keep
getting a low level light on my sump tank. I have checked the wiring, and
blew our my vent line from the sump tank to no avail.
I taxi out and during the runup checks, the light will come on. So I taxi
back to the hanger - and the only way I can get the light to go out is to
hit the sump tank good and hard. I have gas in both wings and they seem to
be feeding evenly.
Has anybody experienced a similar problem?
Ralph
