Hi Folks,

Just been trying to get my tap working and made a little progress.

The problem was trying to get water to flow through the tap. When operated there used to be a noise from tap, then you could hear the submersible pump working and hey presto running water through the tap. Now there is no noise and no working pump. I checked out the pump and it seems to work when connected to a small battery. Therefore I reckon its the tap that is at fault. So my question, eventually....sorry, is where can I find said fuse? I have a bunch of fuses under the drivers seat, all of which seem fine. Thats where I'm up too.

Anyone point me in the right direction?

Its a John Cross conversion, according to Big Tam, its a 1984 1.9 dg 5 speed with a rather natty rollered paint jobbie.

It would be nice to have running water for our holiday next wednesday, according to the wife, so you can understand the pressure I'm under....

Thanks

Pete

The fuse location will vary according to the conversion. Have you checked the tap microswitch? My advice would be to get under the tap and check if you have 12V on one connection to the tap microswitch. Some models don't use taps with microswitches and have the switch on a panel. Either way, you need to check at which point the voltage is missing. If you have a leisure battery, then the feed to the habitation electrics will feed from that to a secondary fuse panel usually located in the habitation area. I have seen some converions that use in-line fuse holders underneath the wash bowl or area adjacent to it , also look out for any screw block connectors and trace the wiring using the colour codes of the wiring to the tap and to the pump. If you cannot find the source then I would be tempted to run a new wire to the tap switch (even if only as a temporary measure) until you can sort it properly. I would be very suprised if the fuse is in the front cab given that both batteries are usually located behind the seats.

Ok Thanks for that mate, will check it out tomorrow. I may have to rig up a temp fix as you say. As time is marching on. I checked all the fuses in the front and they all work. Its the strange collection of 'stuff' under the drivers seat. I'll have to get a pic up sometime.

Cheers
