OK I just took the Ohm meter to my water level stick and when the
float is at the top, I get no resistance (closed circuit), about 1 inch
down I hear the click and the ohm meter reads about 250K as I
move the float all the way down to within one inch of the bottom,
then I get another click and the Ohm meter goes to 350K (nearly
infinity - open circuit).  If that is of any help to anybody.

I should add that my LEDs also do not read properly and I have
taken the wand out of the van, I do not know if the wand or the
LEDs are bad.   I'll try the Bentley 97.30 analysis.  Malcolm
