Is the control panel on my water pump printed circuit?

The control panel is a printed circuit. The battery is brand new so I know there is no problem with that as the old battery was flat and after I recharged it it still did not work so I assumed it was dead as it is over 5 years old.

What to do when your water pump is not working?

When there is no water in the tank, they end up presuming that the pump is not working. When the water pump switch is on, it should make a noise indicating that the electricity connection is available. If the pump does not make any noise, inspect the 12-volt panel fuse to see if there is an electricity supply available.

Is there a water pump on the monitor?

An older RV monitor panel may have a single switch for the water pump and there may be some other switches for the water pump in the bathroom or outside. There is also a water heater on and off switch at the panel. The older models are very basic. Some of the newer models make it possible to adjust the sensitivity of the RV monitor panel.

How can I check if my water pump is working?

Clean them with a light sandpaper and reconnect to see if they work. This model should have a separate switch for each tank. If it’s a stove vent model, check the main switch for power as it controls all the probes but not the water pump.

What kind of panel does a water pump have?

The older style panels were usually LVS or Ventline models and had a fuse either in line or at the distribution center. The water pump switch was usually wired directly to the pump so it would still work if the fuse blew. You can remove the panel and check for 12-volt coming into the back to verify.

Is the monitor panel on my motorhome still working?

Posted By: TiogaChevy on 08/09/10 05:31pm My monitoring panel does not indicate any readings for black, gray, potable or lp levels. It does still work to start the genny and the water pump. The service guy just says they often don’t work and are not worth fixing.
