Not getting any power to the pump and I replaced the fuse but still a no go?

Bad relay, maybe?

I checked the fuse panel with my multimeter and nothing!

Any other ideas?

Tim
Can't you trace that back to the box under the drivers seat?
Is the other fuse in that same 2 fuse box getting power?
You could always jumper it off your aux fuse panel for the
time being. I pushed mine to there permanently. Makes
keeping spares fuses down to a few sizes and lesser types.

Bill, I think that the relay is cooked but rather find out for sure in my driveway instead of campside. They do fail so I'll pick up a couple before I get home. I didn't try the 16 amp side while the engine is running yet. Will measure the voltage and report back. If I can't track it down then to the aux fuse panel it goes!
Thanks! Tim

Relay is ok, power to the two fuse panel as well. Pump worked with different 12v source. When I
looked at the pumps blue and brown wires they were disconnected? I must have pulled them out for some
strange reason when I routed the Propex's wires. Plugging them in didn't fix the faucet! After two hours
I figured it was the switch in the Shurflo that had gone bad. Pulled it out and used the same alternate
12v source and the damn thing worked! What gives! When I put in my West Marines sink drain I
disconnected the faucets wires and attched them backwards....that's why no faucet action for me this
weekend. All back together and waiting to go camping again!
