Water pump

Pulled into RV park and all three took a shower. Pump worked fine. Later, noticed light was out for switch. No voltage to pump when switching switch. Fuse panel on lower foot of bed frame, all fuses good. Checked breakers. Ok.any other suggestions appreciated. Pump was replaced 2 years ago with better pump. No problem trouble shooting the old one
  • Here again! Turns out it wasn't the water pump control itself. It was a lousy crimp on connector on ground wire. Replaced all 4 connectors on wires to control
    Old control is good. Now have spare I'll probably never need.

    First. Light out means it's not the fuse at the pump.

    Question about those switches. are they ON/OFF toggles or are their three position spring loaded return to center momentary switches that feed signals to a control board somewhere..... Yup.

    On my RV there were two 3-way switches (SPDT) and if no electronics between battery and pump.. just Fuse----Switch======Switch----Pump

    (The two wires between the switches if both switches select the same wire pump is on. they are called 3-way because they have 3 connectors on the switch)

    But another system is Fuse----Control board---pump
    And a whole bunch of switches to the control board.. I've not seen one. but read about it.
