See the posts regarding the LED panel. You may have the older 80/81
panel with an extra feature to prevent the pump from burning out by
being run with an empty tank. If you have 2 red LEDs at the bottom of
the left row then this is the case. Later models have green at the
bottom and 1 red just above the green.

You can easily override the pump voltage cutoff circuit with a little
soldering. Is this something you can and wish to do? I did this when I
installed an early type panel in my 87.
