To me, and from MJ stated, that would imply an issue with the wiring.

In terms of the wiring, going by the following PDF from the D2 Tech Dump post, page 8 shows the 'coolant level switch' (F66). It has two wires, a brown one which goes to Earth, and a green with yellow stripe wire going to the instrument panel. It is T32b, the grey block connector, and it's pin 18.

To test continuity, switch your multimeter to 20k Ohms (around the 8:00 position). The display should read 1. Touching both probes together should give you 0. Testing the brown wire should just be a case of putting one probe on that wire, and the other probe to a good earth connection. If the wire is fine, it should read 0. Testing the green/yellow wire involves touching both ends of the wire with the probes (and hopefully getting a 0 reading), but will need the use of an additional length of wire. Just make sure the additional length is fine beforehand. Can't think of an easier way with the second wire.
