Look for a small plastic box on the pillar (B) behind the drivers seat. Two fuses
inside.

black wires coming out of the spigot and when I connect them to my ohm-meter,
everthing is fine there, i.e. the spigot works. Prior to connecting that, the old
spigot made the submersible pump turn on just by touching the wires together (i.e. the
pump worked a few days ago).
