Subject:help with water level sensors/pump!
From:Andrew Gies
Date:Thu, 8 Jul 2004 08:51:50 -0500

Good morning!

I was reinstalling my water cabinet last night, when I encountered some
problems.

The spade connector on the short black wire that connects to the lowest
fresh water tank level sensor broke off at some point.

Here is what I know - where each wire coming from the level sensor "black
box" connects to the water tank.

Here is what I don't know - where the green and black wires (kept together
in black sheathing, that originate from the main Westy kitchen wiring
harness) - connect to.  From what I can gather in the Bentley - these wires
end up supplying the power to the waterpump - but only if the level in the
water tank is above a certain level.

FYI:  My '86 Westy is a Canadian model - so the water pump is underneath the
sink (I am pretty sure the wiring to the level sensors and pump is slightly
different from the US models with the pump inside the water tank - but I
could be wrong).

I am hoping that someone with a Canadian model of Westy could take 5 minutes
to lift up the shelf in the water cabinet that hides all this wiring - and
p-mail me back with a quick synopsis of how all this mess connects together
to the water tank.  Most importantly - which wires have the "double decker"
spade terminals, and where they connect to!

Thanks in advance -

Andrew
