Hello all

I posted on here a while ago with a problem with water in the kitchen area of van (it wouldn't work without shower being on too) I was all ready to get a new micro switch (thanks to all replies especially Wizard). It seems  it could be a loose connection of  some kind as  when I  "wiggle" the wires underneath the tap the tap runs ok and I can hear pump running.

Just wondered if this is still a problem and I will be  better of fitting a new switch in the long run?

Thanks in advance

Kerry

Microswitches usually have !pushon" crimp type connections.

These can sometimes be quite loose when pushed on.

Try pulling the connections off and carefully using pliers close up the connection on the crimp slightly. Then push back on, some resistance should be felt.

the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
