Tap Micro switch

[Maubern]

Can any one help please  Is it possible to change the micro switch without taking the tap out on the WHB

Not sure what tap you have but all the taps I've seen you can normally remove the tap head usually a grub screw holding it & the micro switch is then exposed.

 

I fitted a relay in line with the pump on my van to prolong the live of the micro switches.

Taps vary in design. Some have access to their micro-switches as lennyhb describes; on others (most others?) the switches are located on the lower part of the tap's body and will be beneath the work-surface. In the latter case, even if it's theoretically feasible to change the switch without removing the tap from the work-surface, lack of access often makes this impossible. On some taps, if a micro-switch fails, then the complete tap has to be replaced.

 

Basically, it's going to depend on the make/model of tap and how the converter has installed it in your motorhome. (Is this still a (year unrevealed) Mercedes-based Auto-Trail Scout?)

With respect - are you certain the switch is on the tap and not part of the pump as is usual with most vans these days?

Thank you all for your replys. Most helpful. Its not the autotrail  we changed it to a Burstner Performance  T700.

I Had a stroke  and haven't been on for a long time but I will change my details as soon as I can
