It should still rise up off the stops though once started and moved even its the accumulator has failedtake the accumulator off and if its full off oil its fudged.
Is it down all the time or just in the morning when you 1st get in it?
Sometimes a wire gets rubbed through by the radiator cowling so check around that area.
If the accumulator was gone it would be down on the stops if left overnight but should rise back up once started and moved. As said already check the arm on the sensor

Should the shaft in the centre of the potentiometer with the e clip on move along with the arm?
If it calibrates ok and you can see it going up and down during calibration the sensor and wiring is fine.Reading this tread with interest, as the suspension on our puma is solid, calibration did nothing, and it doesn't sit down on the stops, so I'm going through a few of the other suggestions on here.

did you just copy the original 2 acumulater on oneIf it calibrates ok and you can see it going up and down during calibration the sensor and wiring is fine.
The accumulator will be low, flat or popped, easiest way to check is go underneath and above the filter housing, right on top next to the hydraulic pump there's 2 solenoids with rubber caps, turn the rubber cap closest to the front (might be tight if your never done it before so use pliers) and the suspension will drop after a few seconds. Close this again and then on the suspension accumulator just crack the Allen key on top, this has a o ring underneath so your just braking the seal, if you can hear air coming out you still have nitrogen in so the bladder is ok and will just need topping up, if nothing comes out at all you can unscrew it and then you might see oil traces, any oil and it's popped.
If it's a short wheel base there's a double accumulator kit you can buy, but I've made one for my own tractor it's not hard. I've also been messing around with the pressures, I find the book pressures way out!!! They say it should be 25bar but I've found the suspension is 10 times better around 50bar. I've been playing with 2 different pressures in the 2 accumulators, currently at 45 and 55bar, the suspension needs calibrating every time you change the pressure.
