Locating the Latching Controller

[digNbubbs]

I know this is a long shot, but has anyone located the water pump latching controller in a 2006 Knight or similar coach?

I can tell you where it isn't. I have the wet bay torn apart, and can follow the wires from the water pump up to where it goes into the floor of the coach. I have looked under the kitchen sink, under the shower, the bathroom sink, any panel I can remove, checked the front electronics bay under the driver seat, behind the water heater, inside the basement, ran a camera from both sides of the wet bay, and even hooked a signal locator to one of the wires and followed the beep. Nothing.

I hot-wired the water pump, and that works. No power going in to the pump. Monaco tech support said it was probably the latching controller, so I bought a new one. Just can't find the old one. Tech support had no idea where it would be.

Any help would be appreciated!

The base cabinets usually have a false floor that you can lift up. Have you looked under them in the area where the wires disappear from below?

Mine was in behind the panel of switches up by the door in my 98 Dynasty. I was told they could be in the bathroom near the pump switch. I repaired my latching controller.
I hope that helps

Mine was behind the panel just behind and above the copilot seat. That is where the switches for the inverter and the tank readings are located. There is also a water pump switch there.Mine has 3 switches for the water pump, one there and another by the bathroom sink and the other in the water bay. It should be close to one of them.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am stumped. I looked inside everything I could open from the generator compartment back to the engine. Opened a few panels that I probably shouldn't have. Traced wires. Used a remote camera to run down chases. Pretty frustrating day. And STILL don't have water :(

I will call Monaco again tomorrow and press them for some more ideas. They said that this was a "weak link" in the system. You would think they would make it a little more accessible.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

Unfortunately Monaco installation techs had no "standards" when building coaches as to where stuff is located.

It could be anywhere even on identical coaches built right next to each other.

Mine is located next to the water pump and near the relay that they used to switch the high amp power to the pump.

That's where mine is. I was told the location was determined by the build location, Oregon or Indiana.

I am jealous of those with the controller in the wet bay close to the water pump! I have my bay completely torn down - I am in there replacing the two tank knife valves, fixing sensors, rebuilding the SaniCon, etc.

I am able to follow the wiring harness until it goes into the bulkhead, above the tanks. From there it is a mystery. No luck getting in touch with tech support yet today. Hope they have more ideas.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I have a 99 Dynasty and have yet to find it. All the places they have said it is it is not.

Where mine was I had to dig pretty deep. Like I said up behind the control panel for the inverter and the tank gauge panel above the co pilot seat. There is a switch there for the pump as well.

I looked there but will check again. Thanks

Did you find it?

On our 99 Sig it is located in the Aqua Hot bay about six inches from the water pump on the right side bulk head.
