I have what I believe to be the new intermittent switches. Red light when open.
The problem is not so much the switch but the knife valve at the tanks which sticks. Never had a problem with the grey water tank but the black tank has been a frequent source of problems.
Usually all it takes is slight movement on the manual overide screw & the switch will work.
Suspect that the problem is more about stuff jamming the valve, installed incorrectly of course, than anything else. No, there is not room to mount the valve correctly.
The day will come when the whole vavle will have to be dismounted, cleaned or replaced. Not looking forward to it but have done a similar job before, rebuilding marine toilets & cleaning out a marine black tank.
