Is there a way to bypass the oil sender level sensor?

I want to establish whether the sensor is faulty or whether I have a wiring loom issue?

I've tried cleaning the sensor but had no luck.

I believe there are 3 points within the connector?

Its for a m20.

undo the two nuts that hold it in place unclip the wireing plug and then when drained of oil turn it upside down should here a clunk if not soak in petrol over night then try again . they clog uop big time and are an easy thing to fix .

Thanks for the reply.

I had cleaned the sensor thoroughly in petrol before I installed it, thus asking the question regarding the bypass.

any ideas?
