Subject:      89Westy sink/pump elect problem
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Is there a fuse for the spighot/pump circut on an 89 Westy??

My submersible pump is not turning on since replacing my spigot today.

I Have been hotwiring my spigot for years with no problems, but I finally bought a new spigot from GoWesty and replaced it today(only 50 bucks!). There are green and black wires coming out of the spigot and when I connect them to my ohm-meter, everthing is fine there, i.e. the spigot works. Prior to connecting that, the old spigot made the submersible pump turn on just by touching the wires together (i.e. the pump worked a few days ago).

So, now the new spigot is all hooked up and the pump does not turn on, so:

1)either the pump is fried, or 2) there is a fuse somewhere that is fried, or 3) something else is happening

Other clues: 1) the battery works-the van starts 2) The water and battery indicator (LED) lights on the front of the stove are also NOT working...HMM, this is what makes me think there is a fuse somewhere. 3) All the fuses in the front of the van under the dash are intact.

Help!
