The newer style sensor, which you have, is integral to the banjo bolt. You will drain the brake fluid, replace the banjo bolt, and bleed the brakes. You could try to clean off the connectors and reattach the wires to see if you can get it working before you replace it.

Is there any way to troubleshoot and make sure its the sencor?
You can check the switch operation with a multimeter
^This^
The pressure of the brake pedal being applied closses the circuit and on comes the light. So pull the two connections from the brake switch (the banjo bolt on the rear of the of the master cylinder) and set the multimeter to continuity with sound and connect it to both of the prongs. When you press the brake pedal, the multimeter should sound if there is no problem.
I have the same issue I noticed last night, I have an '07 Street Bob. Is my brake switch the same or is it the older style that I can replace without removing the banjo bolt? After looking at mine it looks the same as the diagram but the leads connect to what looks like the switch that has the dotted lines running to it.

Yours is the older style which can be removed without removing the banjo bolt.
