Red Light on Blank Tank Valve

Dumped the black tank today and after closing the valve, the red light remained lit.  Several tank flushes and dumps, opening and closing the valve, the light remains on.  I can hear the motor moving the gate open and closed and the drain has no leaks when closed, so its definitely a false reading.  Can something be stuck in the sensor or drain that might account for that? 

Definitely want to add a third mechanical safety at some point (and maybe even replace the blank tank electronic valve at the same time. )  But I would like to resolve this in the meantime.

Suggestions?

Joe,

I don't have a red light on my valve.  I suspect and after market mod by a previous owner.  A picture might help.

Its the switch itself with the red light.  Gray has been replaces with a mechanical valve so switch no longer used.  The black tank is still opened and closed electronically.

Here a picture:

Joe,

IIRC on that coach if you remove the vanity panel in the service bay you will find a micro switch that is located on the valve. Most likely it has failed or is out of adjustment.
