Check the connection it’s underneath the sink where the wires go together mine had a bad connection there in the pump started working fine.

Hi Alistair,
I replaced this pump with the help of the list back about 2014. I remember it was not too bad. But of Cours I’ve forgotten most of what I learned.
I ordered a new pump so when it arrives I’ll see about getting the old one working and if not I’ll go ahead and try to change it out.
I remember last time I blew the fuse and learned that the fuse was behind the seat.
I also learned that I had difficulty putting in the fuse and kept blowing it!
So, I’ll get help with that this time.
Pump work when I tried it. Then next day it worked once then would not go on when I tried again. Now dead.
Still have not found that inexpensive talking multi meter!
Bus is away tomorrow for alignment and inspection so will need to wait until Wednesday to take this on.
It is the one submerged in the tank.
I usually fill from inside so familiar with getting to it. And I remember needing to got through the upper cabinet to get to the wiring.
