If it were I, and assuming that your pump is in the tank, I'd unscrew the LARGE interior fill hole (under the interior cabinett plate) and reach down in and pull the pump up and look at it. Then I'd have someone just touch the faucet switch to see if the pump is operating. If so, then I'd move on to looking for a blockage in the line or at the pump. Be VERY carfull taking the hose off the underside of the faucet, as the faucet nipple may break, Better to cut off the hose than break the nipple. It could be that the pump was left on with no water in the tank, that will burn out the pump impellers, pump operates, but no water. My son helped me learn that one after he borrowed the van one weekend!!!! If the Pump is NOT operating, then I'd check for current to the pump. follow the electric pump wires, trace everything backwards towards the battery. How's your fuse (behind the driver's seat)? The pump comes out very easily, and one can separately put 12 volts to it. m2cw Malcolm __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
