Yes, there is a electronic cutoff that keeps the pump from running if
the tank is too low. It was only used on 80/81 models AFAIK. Panels that
have it have 2 red leds for the bottom 2 on the left.

The best bet is to bypass the cutoff as it is not really needed and it
causes confusion to say the least. Pmail me if you want an easy way to
bypass it.

I've reconnected the line in from the battery and the LED's light up, and I've checked the continuity of the water tap switch, but still nothing. Is there a cut-off circuit which will prevent the pump form running in the event the water tank is empty? Or is there something else in the wiring, hidden in there behind the refrigerator? It seems like there is no power going to the pump, but why not?
