resevoir pump tests o k with 12 volts applied.
manual override toggle switch does not work and tests o k
sending unit in secondary tank sends an alarm when tank runs low, but does not trigger the resevoir pump to operate. This leads me to believe the sender is bad, but not sure how to test it.
4 prong electrical jack at resevoir tests 12V with key on on the tan wire lead, but with sending unit on secondary tank in the low position, no other leads test hot???
Any information would be appreciated.
thanks Mike"

"now I have learned that the blue lead is the ground and it is the controlling wire for the circuit.
With a test light in line the ground is excited when the manual override switch is engaged,which proves the power is going to the pump motor, but the secondary oil resavoir sending unit will not excite the same wire when I slide the sender down manually on the sending unit.
Can someone tell me if its possible that the sending unit is faulty, even if when manually moved it WILL trip the alarm when in the full down position??"
