Has anyone had a problem with all their sensors all of a sudden read 3/4 full when empty? Is the controller possibly bad or what?

I looked at my wiring diagram and it shows one 15 amp fuse that powers all the sensors. Not sure where the fuse is but it might be in the main 12 volt fuse panel, which in my case is in the bedroom.

There is also a common ground for all the level gauges. I'd check the ground connection, which may be behind the face of the panel. Each sensor has a ground at it's location but if all are showing the wrong reading I'd think it might be the common ground.

Thank you we’ll check that out. Just strange with all the sensors (LP, Black & Gray tanks as well as the fresh water) happened at the same time.

That's why I think it may be a common ground at the level display.

Jacwjames sorry we didn’t get back to you sooner. We did take the RV into the shop but no luck they want to put in a new monitor. Today we found the main fuse box you stated could have a bad fuse. No luck finding a bad fuse. All ground wires are intact. Any other suggestions before buying a new tank monitor? If needing to buy new tank monitor which one would be suggested? We have the large old style with Windsor name on it. Thank you for your help.

Buy a Sea level 2 system, Bluetooth one is so nice to use. Tank sensors just stick onto the outside of the tanks. You can easily install it yourself.

Yes - get the Garnet sea Level2 monitor.
I re-used the wires (didn’t use about half of them). Also installed a second monitor in my wet bay - so I can see how full my water is as I am filling.

Having accurate numbers in 3% increments is totally great! I did it all myself.

Good Luck
