It depends on which version of the led panel you have. The early version has a large power transistor behind the painted cover that turns on power to the pump when it thinks there is water in the tank. A round silver thing about the size of a nickel, if there you have the kind that can disable the pump when the tank level reading is NG. Used 80/81 at least but lots of panels have been swapped over the years. The simple thing is to bypass the transistor and I have done so on several early Westys that I have worked on. That way the pump always has power available Mark Nathaniel Poole wrote: > Or maybe not. before I whip out the trusty voltmeter, maybe this is > what it's supposed to do? My water tank is bone dry.
