Subject:      85 Westy repairing faucet/tank pump
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

Hello All,

I'm a new member and have recently acquired an 85 Westy.  The wires to the faucet have been snipped and I am unsure which wires in the harness that I need to reconnect them to.  I am hoping that someone knows of a labeled photo or diagram showing the wiring harness in the cabinet under the sink that I can use as an aid to help me understand the electrical system.  Because the wires were snipped, I am guessing that the PO had problems with either the faucet or the pump.  I have learned by reading the archives that sometimes the impeller gets stuck due to mineral deposits, and sure enough my pump's impeller was stuck.  I spun it around a number of times to loosen it up and now it seems to move freely.  I am hoping the fix is that easy but can't test it until I know where to wire the faucet to.  Also, I am wondering if my faucet is not broken (it's the kind with the dial on top and a single screw securing the top) since the dial only spins a few degrees (or perhaps this is how they are supposed to function?).

Any and all insight would be appreciated.

Peter
