Subject:      sink problem identified...but not yet solved :(

> Hey all,

> I think I've finally identified the culprit as the LED panel.  On MY
> bus, here's how things work:  the tank must have at least 3 liters of
> water and the LED panel must be switched on before the pump will run.
> Well, I hooked up the fixed pump and when I turn the faucet on, the LED
> panel lights go out and I then have to wait a little while before they
> will come on again.  I repeated this test many times and once the pump
> gave a brief whirr before the panel LEDs went out.  So, I now need to
> wire the pump so that it is independent of the LED panel, i.e. a direct
> connection to the battery.  I will look at the wiring tomorrow and see
> how to do this, but it shouldn't be too complicated.  I thank everyone
> for their patience and help so far, it shouldn't be too long before I
> have this resolved.
