Title: Any advice on obtaining holding tank sensors?
Post by: Dick S on November 02, 2014, 01:24:50 pm
I know many have upgraded to external sensors, but our originals have been working fine until now. The gray water sensor has quit sending. Am planning to replace it; maybe some good used ones available? See photo.
Thanks, Dick

Dick,
Is Foretravel out of them?  Sometimes the sensor gets clogged and misreads.

Received new sensor from FOT; $70. New sensor solved the problem.

If you did not go through the calibration procedure, you may need to otherwise the sensor may not read full and empty when the tank is actually full and empty.  Sometimes the replacements are close enough to not to need this, easy to check if you can see the tank level.

Thanks Steve,

It looks like it is pretty close. And I'm glad; I could never find the calibration switch in the right front dash area. So I had to take everything apart to get to the little computer.
