The water pump is submerged in the water tank. Access the "secret compartment" (behind the 110v circuit breaker and AC outlet) by removing the panel in the right top cabinet just under the rear swing out table. The pump has two spade connectors connecting into a clearish connector. Carefully unhook the pump wires from the connector. Useing your voltmeter or test light, check for voltage on the wires coming from the switch with the switch open and closed. Hopefully you'll have voltage meaning the switch and wiring is good....this is what you want, it's easier to change the pump than the faucet switch. Now Apply 12v to the wires coming from the pump. (black or brown wire is ground). You'll need a couple of lengths of wire to get power to the pump directly from the battery....or you can pull the pump and take it to your battery but you may have to cut off the connectors to get the wires through the holes. If you don't here the pump spinning time for a new one. They are about $30 from the usual list vendors. >My 1985 Westphalia has been removed from long term storage recently. > >The electric water pump for the sink seems non-operative.
