1993 U225 Water Pump Fuse

My kitchen faucet has developed a leak and the pump relay is stuck in the on position so I am wasting a lot of water. I checked the 12v fuse box by the bed and none indicate they control the water pump. I won't be able to get parts for a week or so. Can someone tell me which 12v fuse controls the pump?

Slim,

Don't know if your U225 is the same as our U280.  We have a 12V circuit breaker panel in the main storage bay, mounted to the wall, driver side, under a white fiberglass cover.  There are two vertical columns of circuit breakers.  One on the right has 4 breakers - the bottom one controls the water pump power.  They are manual reset breakers.  If tripped, a little black button sticks out the side.  Push it in to reset.

I pulled out the wiring diagram for a 1993 U240-- yours may be the same.

Lift the hinged dash.  You will find a 20 amp water pump fuse. On the diagram, it shows to be in the right most fuse block.

Thanks for the help folks. I lifted out the couch and found that by moving one wire on the relay the latching function was disabled. Now, I need to hold the on/off switch to power the pump and can shut it off by simply taking my finger off the switch. That will get me by until I can fix the leaky faucet and get a new relay. I'm also going to replace the pump while I'm at it.
Hopefully the replacements will last 26 years like the original equipment.
