Thanks Jack and Gary,
I'll check on the switch location. Might be having another senior moment. The switch plate does say pump. I haven't needed to use the pump since last fall when I winterized sooo...!

Problem solved! Turn on the correct switch! Thanks! "A mind is a terrible thing to waste and I've pretty much wasted mine!"

Told dw I had the problem resolved, she wanted to know how, I said "I asked." she said "what?" I said "I asked, a-s-k-e-d" spelling it out. She darn neared sprayed me with the oatmeal and blueberries she had in her mouth!

Not only am I losing my mind, my long standing membership in the Manly Men's Club will come under review if this gets back to "I Can Figue This Out Myself" committe.

Wow! Good catch, Gary! I would not have thought of possibly activating the wrong switch. I haven't really looked, but I don't think my hot water gas switch turns on the light at all (unless it fails to light).

Jim, welcome to the "Senior Moment" club. I'm a proud member and we have to stick together.

I got the pump to turn on by using the correct switch but it wouldn't pump even then. Talked to a Shurflo tech he gave me a part number for the valve kit, couldn't find the exact # closest was $28 so I pulled the pin on a new pump for $54 to my door. So I have a perfectly good pump motor if anyone needs one.

Got her all rewired and ready to install my new panel I created. Added a volt meter to keep up with output of my charger. Made it out of 1/8 kydex. A whole lot easier to work with instead of wood and it don't rot! Just got to drill hole and put safety release in and drill holes in each corner to mount it. If you remember right they whole area of the original switches was pretty much punched out. White kydex is the next thing on my amazon list. Can fix alot of things with this stuff. I put the switches and stuff a little lower in the panel to allow for a little better viewing while moving around in the camper.

Nice work, motorpig! That was a great idea to include a voltmeter. I'll have to investigate "Kydex". I'd never heard of it.
