Water switch controller wiring
I just replaced my mpx latching controller for the water pump switch in a 2000 Fleetwood discovery. Either I got a dead part or I messed up the wiring. Can someone tell me the proper wire colors for t...

Thanks for your reply. I did try metering, both for voltage and continuity and found the results odd, hence my question to the forum.
I have four colors, red (heavy gauge-I assume is the 12 volt), red/white stripe (lighter gauge- assume this is like your grey that goes to the switch), white/red stripe (heavy gauge - assume is the load and is the same wire I find at one side of my pump) and black (heavy gauge and assumed to be ground as it connects to common ground on block). If I connect the wires this way, none of the water switches will turn on the pump and there is no light on the pump switch.
If I connect just the white/red together, the water pump works and the pressure switch works to cut off once max limit is reached. However, i still need to get the remote switches to work.
I deduced that my problem was the latching controller, esp since it sits below my fridge and the ice maker line leaked and could have possibly shorted out the circuitry since the board sits on the floor board (not a great design IMHO).
My furnace is not turning on so I also suspect the water leak also partially fried my intellitec controller. AC works fine though.
Thanks for your help, I'll get back to troubleshooting.
