Water Pump Dead

Can someone explain to me how our water pump was working perfectly fine ( it is a newer one, replaced a few years ago ) , but today, none of the three switches work. No green light on all three. ????!!!!!???

Please direct me how to troubleshoot this. I have no idea.

Thanks.

Glen,

With no green lights I would look check the water pump relay. Usually if the ground on the pump is bad it won't affect the lights. It (water pump relay) is located in the basement behind the fiberglass panel.  I have no idea if you have the old cube style VW headlight relay or the Finder relay.  Remove the cover and shoot a pic of the electrical panel and post the pic. Then we can tell which one you have. If the new Finder relay it has a button on it that you can push and sometimes it will jar it lose so it starts working.

Thanks. I realized that the relay was behind the panel, and had just been under the coach. It appears that the two white A2 wires came out of the slot. When I touched them to the slot, the pump started up.

However, I FORGOT how to reinsert the wires. Do I have to take the relays off the wall to get to a set screw??
Thanks. I am sure this will fix my problem.

They were stuck together and to the panel with double stuck foam tape.  Some courage and a pry bar and they will come off.

Unscrew the set screw, inster wires, tighten the set screw.

It had been a while since I played with that relay. I had a water pump issue, and did all those connections, at that time. I needed the guidance, provided, to refresh my memory.

EASY PEASY........THANKS, ALL !!!  Works fine, once again.
