Can somebody explain to me just how electrically the sensors work in a holding tanks, I know that the circuit is completed when the water gets to the sensor, but on mine all the sensors wires go to a plastic cap like thing about 1/2" in dia about 3/4" long can't see what they are connected to inside the plastic thing because it looks like the thing is filled with hot glue or something, makes me wonder if all the wires come together here how does the display work inside the coach, how does it know what sensor is touching the water? I hope I explained this well enough.

As I understand it, the system measures cumulative resistance to determine how many lights to light up. As each contact becomes wetted, the resistance drops stepwise.

They ALL work fine if you just refill and FLUSH the tanks after dumping. But who wants to spend 30 minutes doing that. Better to just complain about the lousy design Doug
