No its supposed to be that way. It makes contact when It's hot. Basically a thermal switch. It detects coolant by virtue of the temperature. Basically if that sensor is immersed in coolant, you have enough.

Let me see if I can dig up that sensor...

Take the plug off the sensor, and jump it with a wire. It should turn the light in the dash off...
