Hi.

P 97.32e ("Camper 1982-1985") of Bentley shows a Yellow wire between
water pump switch and pin T6/1 on connector to display unit. From what
I can see this portion of yellow wire is not swtiched. From T6/4 pin
of connector, (orange wire) there appears to be a gray wire jumped to
T6/1 of same connector which appears to supply 12V to yellow wire.'

FWIW,  I don't see any blue ground wires, though the PO may have
spliced in a blue. I do see brown and black as grounds from "48" which
is ground connector "behind fridge, left side"

If you don't have a wiring diagram (Bentley or Haynes) I'd highly
reccomend getting one. Perhaps a 4th of July gift to yourself?

Hope this helps.

Neil.
