Mine was doing the same thing.
Took the sensor out and it was covered in gunk.
So i cleaned it and put it back in.
Still the same! Then i noticed it was upside down.
Turned it around and BINGO...... Hasnt come back on
Since.
The outside of the sensor is round on 1 side and flat
On the other.
The flat side needs to be closest to the drivers side
Wing. (If that makes sense)

The sensor in the tank was moving freely and outside the tank the pins are facing up so the flat side is facing towards the drivers' wing.
