2nd WIF sensor wiring in parallel?

Can I hook up the WIF sensor from my RACOR fuel filter in parallel with the stock WIF sensor wires. Seems like it would work since they basically detect a low resistance when water is across the 2 contacts. With 2 in parallel then either one could set the factory WIF light on the dash. Or maybe the stock circuitry that senses the resistance change is too sensitive and would illuminate the light without water present??? Anyone tried this?

Thanks.
