Exactly the problem. The LED panel does not even read the correct water
level. All of the wiring is intact going to the water tank. But the LED
relay on the tank must be sending the wrong info to the LED. I guess I
could override the safety. Is this done at the LED panel? If you've got
instructions I'm very interested. Could I also fix this by replacing the
relay that is sending to the LEDs?
Is the black relay box near the water tank the part that disables the water
pump when the water is low?
Thanks a ton,
Steve

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.
