Glad you figured out the problem and got it patched up. I agree that you will need to do so again, so tightening the connector is a good idea so it will be a permanent fix instead of a temporary one.]]> Mon, 05 Oct 2020 19:36:37 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14078&PID=136905#136905 Water Pump won't run : Glad to hear you got it fixed.... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14078&PID=136904#136904 Author: jato

Glad to hear you got it fixed.  Yes, take a pliars and tighten that connection now, it will probably loosen  again.]]> Mon, 05 Oct 2020 18:58:39 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14078&PID=136904#136904 Water Pump won't run : Fixed.

Fixed. Opened up the panel when I got home from work and found one of the wires had come off of the pump head. Pushed the spade connector back on and good to go. It didn't feel real tight, as of now I'll assume it wasn't pushed on all the way at the factory and hope it stays. If it happens again I'll take some needle nose pliers and snug up the female. I would've done it this time but there isn't any slack in the wire and accessing it would be a pain. I may end up having to do it anyway, but for now...fingers crossed. ]]> Mon, 05 Oct 2020 16:40:38 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14078&PID=136899#136899 Water Pump won't run : Thanks.

Thanks. Battery is good, everything else is working. It worked fine last trip so I'm hoping it's a wire. They're thinking about coming home early due to the forecast so it'll be back in the driveway tomorrow.

Probably under the sink.  It runs on 12v, so make sure your battery is okay.  The pressure switch is built in; I could be wrong, but I don't think it's replaceable.  If you have a volt meter, I suppose the first thing to do would be to make sure it's getting juice. 

The pump isn't that hard or expensive to replace, but that might not help the grandkids this weekend.  If you have a Camping World or something similar you might be able to replace the pump this afternoon, but a campsite with city water may be the only immediate solution.

Wife and grandkids are at a local campground this weekend. The pump won't run. Switch lights ok, fuse is good. I'm thinking pressure switch, wiring, or the pump itself. Anyone have any ideas? Also, this is a 176T. I looked for the pump last night while I was there, it's not in the dinette seat with the furnace and water heater. Possibly under the sink?

Thanks.
