Foot switch power

Post by Barbara »

Is there a fuse for the foot pedal switch? Our head wasn't working at all but we found power to the foot switch with no power coming out to the motor. We bypassed the foot pedal temporarily in order to save our weekend plans and just ran the motor using the panel switch. Not proper but it functioned, flushed etc. We need to restore wiring to proper setup. If no fuse, is there a replacement for the foot pedal or do we need to replace entire motor and switch? Any other ideas? Thanks all!

Barbara,
If your electric head is the OEM WC Newport/Thetford then:
The Micro Switches are located behind the Foot Pedal Cover. The Wiring Harness is located under the Plastic Base.
Check for loose wires around the switches.
You can find replacement switches on the WEB. Look for a part number and or name.
The complete wiring diagram is in the manual. If you need a head manual let me know and I have it as a PDF.
