Default Water pump not working

I have a 2015 Roadtrek 170V. I replaced my kitchen faucet. Now my water pump won't come on. Any suggestions what to check out. City water connection is fine and no leaks on new faucet.

Check the water pump fuse in the DC load center.

Thanks Marko, I did check the fuse and it's fine.

Looking further I noticed one of the 2 red wires that push in was disconnected. However, I am unable to get it to push back in. Does this connect in a specific way?

Not sure what your pump connections look like. Can you post a photo?

Do you have enough water in your fresh water tank? Do you have your hot water heater bypassed?

Default water pump

Related to water pump problem...

My 1996 Roadtrek P210 water pump runs unexpectedly for a few seconds. No pattern or sequence. No water being used. Fuse checks ok. Anyone having this experience?

Plenty of water in fresh holding tank.

Most likely a tiny leak somewhere bleeding off pressure until the pump turns on to replenish it.

Start by searching for a leaky faucet. Don't forget to check any outdoor fixtures.

Default follow up 1996 Roadtrek water pump

Checked interior and exterior-no signs of leak. However, the pump had a rusted screw so I'm guessing there was a leak at some point. Decided to replace [have 140,000 miles on it] Prior to my purchase, the P210 had been sitting for a long time.

If you have not replaced it yet, I would plug that suspected leak and see, 'hear' what happens. If this is not occuring very often, hours?, then the leak is easy to miss and might be out of sight.

routine for us to turn off the pump switch when not using- just in case


over time we have had some plumbing connectors back off due to road rattles, no disasters ( yet) and now do pressure checks at home before and after a voyage
