Rivrduk, Hello again,

I read your original post again (I need to read things 2 or 3 times to make sure I get them right) and it appears you have the same set up I have. You have the module that allows multiple control stations. Do any of your switches have a light in the center of the switch? I know for sure the switch in my bathroom has a light. If memory is correct the switch in the galley has an LED off to the side of the switch. The switch in the outside compartment I can't remember if it has a light or not. I think you may have a bathroom pump switch that has a light but it has burned out. Check the switch closely to see if the center area is clear or transparent. If so the switch should come apart and allow access to the lamp inside. The manufacture should have used an LED and they would not burn out, but that's another story.

My light for the water pump quit working also and I replaced the switch and it still didn't work One day while I was in the dump bay I took the covers off at the top, 2 flat plates the small one on the right has the box behind it that works the lights inside for the water pump I unplugged it and cleaned it and plugged it back in a it has worked ever sence?

I just called America Tech. Comp. in IN. this afternoon and talked to them about a broken single rocker sw. cover that broke in the kitchen and the burned out water pump on/off light in the bathroom on my 2004 Dolphin model 5355. They are sending me the base and cover for the rocker sw. and two (yes two, not one) of the new designed water pump light ( now an LED instead of a bulb type), for Free ! Wow free ! They said "we want to keep you as a customer". Plus they are paying for shipping!

If you need any of their products I would call them. They are (were) the supplier to National RV.

rkscott:

Their number is: (574) 262-1258. Do not know if they are Central or Eastern Time Zone?

When I called I got a lady who ended up not knowing what I wanted as I had no part numbers I guess. She transferred me to the "Tech Dept." and that is who I talked to and the one who said they would send me the parts no charge and will ship no charge also. Sooooooooooooo you may just want to ask for the "Tech. Dept."

Maybe they are the ones who can send the parts no charge.

BTW: I did offer to pay for the items early on, that is when he said " no we will send to you no charge, we want to keep you as a customer". Hope this helps!

Thank you, Dave - will call them on Monday.

You don't have to light the rocker switch just put a tiny diode of you color choice above or below it and wire it into the switch. I did this at my stick home to tell me if the attic light was left on.

You might visit an electronics supply.. The kind of place where Joe's TV repair might shop.. They have some LED indicator lights.. Assorted colors. they come in a quarter inch tube with two wires,, They also have a slip on "Speed nut"

You drill a hole next to the switch, or above it.. Insert one of these, slip the nut on the back and attach it across the switch leads.

now with the switch is on (if you have it hooked up right) the light is off.. Switch off and the light comes on.. If it does not come on.. Reverse leads and try again.

Cost about a buck a pop.
