Those sensors are notorious. Depending on the build you may be able to check the wires where the sensors are on the fresh water tank - perhaps something didn't get plugged in during the build. Of course if it's a new trailer I'm sure the dealer will help as well...

My fresh water sensor was kaput when I filled it the first time. Dealer said a ground wire was found loose on a sensor down in the under belly. No more problems with that indicator.

Our grey water sensor has never worked properly... I will use some of the advice above and check the connections on the tank. I really dont feel like driving 5 hours each way to have the dealer look at it.

You can prety much forget about the grey and black sensors. They never work for more than a few hours on the first trip. With grease from the kitchen sink and toilet paper the sensors are quickly rendered worthless.

Has any one else had that experience? Are your grey/black water sensors working? Or is it a given that they fail?

My grey and fresh water indicators work fine but the black often gives me trouble. Even when the black is empty, it still says 1/3 full. It's easy enough to check by looking down the toilet with a flashlight.

The only one that is accurate and dependable is the fresh water. The others are subject to contamination from whatever is in the tank.
Only fix is another type sensor that is on the outside of the tank. $$$
After awhile you don' even need them to know when to dump. And it gives you something to do, trying to fix them. Ha

The sensor is on the inside of the tank but the wiring is on the outside (at least on mine). You can see them on the side of the tank if your tanks are exposed.
