My tank sensors went from 1/3 staying on to 2/3 staying on now all of them stay on. I don't know where the sensors for that tank is. I can remove/replace them if I knew where they are. Any help will help.

Probably just need to be cleaned. There's nothing technical about the sensors, its just liquid contact. If you have too much grease from dishes and even body oils from showering, they will get dirty and give a false reading. Pour a bottle of dawn soap into the tank and fill it up and let the soap do its work. If you do it while traveling the sloshing around helps. Hope this helps.

Best solution for all the sensors that I know of is to pour a glass of wine and ignore them.

I tried the dawn detergent and wine solution. But I was confused 😕. I couldn't remember the exact order. Now I have a sink full of wine stains and foam coming from my mouth🤪.

But do the sensors work?

On occasion, our sesors misread the level. Try emptying the tanks and then close valves, add 6 OZ of tank treatment to each tank see link. Fill tanks to 2/3s with water, wait a few hours (over night) and drain. This removes the scum off the insides of the tanks so the external mounted sensors can sense the water level, not the scum on the walls...

Good Luck
