Oil Level Float Testing

Hi Gang,
My oil level gauge stopped working and I m checking the Float mechanism in the oil tank. I put a jumper between the two electrical connections and saw nothing change on the gauge on the dash. so i am wondering what test I should do next? I am thinking about testing for continuity between the 2 electrical posts on the float. Even at it's lowest level I think there should be some continuity - it's basically a rheostat like the ones I used on slot cars growing up in the 60s. Any other tests I can run before I trash this one and buy another? I'd like to confirm this is the problem before buying another...
