Ah ha! Welcome to the club. It took me awhile to figure out the problem but now I know. Yes, mine was installed incorrectly as well. Seems all of them were, no matter the RV builder.
Lack of use seems to be part of the problem. Heck, I was under my trailer today at the dump station, allen wrench in hand, turning the screw just a little, then the switch worked fine. After that it was worked back & forth, back & forth. Hopefully next time, in a few days, it will work.
I have an access cut out in the belly material to get at the valve & we carry a stock of that metal tape to seal up the belly material after each time it has to be gotten at.
It is a nuisance but there is no room to turn the valve assembly into the position it is supposed to be mounted in.
On edit, having a look at the pics above...BULL! I have those 'new' type switches. The problem is at the valve itself.
No bull$$$$ on the 'new' switches, they have been working fine now for two years and replacing the switches is WAY easier than replacing the valves!!!
Yeah, well those 'new' switches had me under the trailer again today with my trusty Allen wrench. Moved it a 1/4 turn & the valve worked fine with the switch.
Back & forth. Open & closed a few times with the switch. No problem. Lets see what happens at the next dumping in 4 or 5 days time. My bets are that I'll be under the trailer yet again.
