While the voltmeter is undeniably handy, you only need a short piece of jumper wire to test the pump.  Unplug the two-wire connector plug under the sink and jumper the wires in the lower side, the wires that run back to the pump.  If this makes the pump run (as it did mine) then the problem is in the faucet itself.  While the faucet might be repairable, we chose to get a Shur-Flo from Go Westy to replace ours. Good luck!

 The red one (16 amps) is for the fridge, they are both dedicated to their function and don't run anything else.  You may have broken a wire or pulled a connector if you don’t  have power at the pump/faucet.  Or, the pump could be bad.  Now it's time for a helper with a voltmeter.  Unscrew the knob from the faucet (assuming it's the original Delta Six) and check for voltage there and work your way down to the tank.

I've replaced the original faucet with the Sureflo kit from Go Westy, and it's fantastic. My old pump gave up the ghost too, so I replaced that as well. Add the Sureflo to your wish list: http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_details.php?id=23570&category_id=&category_parent_id=

Thanks Stuart and Jim,

I was able to feel a broken filament.  thanks for that tip Stuart. 

I’m told the fuse was Red.  

Can someone able to read the book or familiar with the 85 westfalia set up let me know what else that fuse runs?  I want to see if other then my sink pump it is working. 

I replaced it and still no pump.  I was trying to clean up the wiring under the sink and have created a disaster.
