Subject:Bypass, Transistor, Potable water tank pump circuit

Hey volks,

I've heard/read repeatedly that bypassing the transistor on the circuit
board on the stove front will eliminate pump op problems but cannot
determine exactly how to do so.  Please give details if you've done this.

I've searched and searched the archives here and on Samba and can't seem to
determine exactly how. It appears the yellow and black leads on the
board are both connected to the can (transistor).  Those match the colors of
the leads that actually power the pump.  I was about to disconnect and short
together the yellow and black leads (bypassing the can?) but am afraid of
disabling more than I intend.

Also, there's a white lead (on one side only) of the harness connector that
leads to the circuit board.  Someone please identify the function of this
white lead.

Thanks!
