filling water tank

This morning I pressed the rocker switch on the bathroom fascia for the water fill, the pilot light flickered once and went out. I tried the switch in the service bay, same scene. There is no filling going on. What has died, is it the solenoid? If so where is it? Help!

On your wiring diagram B-2126 it shows your circuit breaker behind the white panel on the left hand side, the 6th one down (b29) located in the electronics bay.

Barry: Thanks, I checked the circuit breaker. It was OK. The pilot light on the switch does flicker when the rocker is depressed, it just wont stay on. Tank is not full. Any other ideas?

Check the wiring diagram for a latching relay,it sounds like it is not locking in.

Latching relay is located in the same compartment behind the white panel in the lower right near the floor.

Bill, Barry: Right on, if that big gray box hanging down in the picture and on my coach, is the latching relay then I just reset it (depressed both knurled buttons) then that was the problem. Water fill engaged after second depression of the rocker switch.
Thank you. It is going to freeze here in Charlottesville tonight and I will have to disconnect my water hose, tank water will be nice.

Hmmmm......  Now my 1999 40ft U320 has a "Joey Bed" in the 3rd bay, driver's side.  Where the 3 does not count the "bay" for the generator.

The bay ahead of the "Joey Bed" does have an electronics panel on the forward wall, next to the Aquahot (which is in the center).  Would the relay be in that panel?  (Should I ever need it.  It does seem from time to time my filler relay needs coaxing by turning it on and off a time or 2.)
