All of this talk about water pumps reminded me that the one for my sink is playing up. I never used it but being the neurotic sort of person I am (Always touching the fridge vent on the way past checking it's still on), every now and then I turned the faucet for a second and always heard the pump. A few weeks ago I decided to try it for real. I filled the water tank and turned on the faucet. Some water came out and the pump was running, after 5 seconds it stopped. I assumed the pump had gone or a fuse so I turned it off. 10 minutes later I tried again and once again the pump ran, water came out then it stopped again. Now nothing I do will get it to run again. Does it have a pressure switch like a travel trailer would. If so, could it be blocked and have enough pressure stored to keep the pump from kicking in, even weeks later? Is there a fuse I'm missing? On another matter, the seam on the drivers side has rusted enough to pop away from the body. I can see fiberglass behind it. Will a welding shop still be able to weld this back? Thank you Melvin |
