Without knowing what car (Make, model, year, engine), it is hard to tell.
The best, cheapest way to replace it is to replace it under warranty. Ford
had a problem with coolant level sensors in Ford Contours and Mercury
Mystiques. They ended up replacing the entire revervoir, because they
couldn't replace the sensor without changing the whole thing.
If you have one of these cars, you might be able to get Ford to replace it
free (or if your car is still under warranty).

The sensor is malfunctioning... even when full with 50-50 coolant/water, it
still ends an "empty" signal or should I say it sends no signal to the idiot
light controller.

they are prone to failure

buy a new one
used would be futile
