water pump will not start

[Gliddenwoods]

Doing my end of the season sanitizing and when I tried to turn on the pump to draw in from the boondocking port the water pump did not start/make any noise. Check the 15 fuse  and is good. Is there another "in-line" fuse for the water pump somewhere?

Or other items I should check?

Thanks.

Read voltage at the fuse connected to the water pump (red wire), to the ground (black wire). If you have 12VDC then you need a new pump. If so, I suggested upgrading to a premium model.

If no voltage, then there may be another fuse, or a disconnected or bad wire.

Testing for voltage is always step one. Use voltmeter/multimeter or a simple 12V test light: https://a.co/d/if7BSpi

Found the problem.

Wires behind Seelevel II were not connected completely.

Easy fix once found.

Jason at Oliver was a great help; thanks to Jason!

Strange how this works!😁

Once we had the spade connector at the water pump switch come loose. So that is another area for checking out if this happens to anyone else.
Glad you solved your problem.

I bought two of these for stocking stuffers! 🤣 Black Friday price, OMG only $8!!!

I’ve used these ever since my first automotive job in 1975. This one is good quality, alligator clips a bit too tight, though end point is certainly sharp enough to pierce wire insulation. This is the reason why a simple test light works where a multimeter will not. Grab a ground and poke on fuse ends and more.

One is for my son, the other I just placed under the rear dinette seat where I have rerouted all our fuses and breakers.
