c2 cassette potty blowing fuses

[muckgram]

I'm back again...
Out this past weekend and discovered the thetford c2 cassette potty is blowing fuses every time the flush is activated. Any thoughts? I found a split wire and repaired, thinking I found the short. I have followed the wires back to the fuse box and converter and cannot find anything out of the "norm". Thanks in advance for your help and or thoughts.

I sounds like a short to me.  I would recheck the wiring on the CP.  Good luck in finding the problem.  Wiring can be such a pain.

Thanks for the advice. I found a blow by blow picture repair guide for the thetford c2 online. I have a bad pump that is pulling too many amps for the system. Another question, looks like you are from PA. Any good campgrounds in the Elk, Potter, Cameron county areas?

Thanks,
RG

I am from PA, but I have not camped in those counties.  Sorry I can't help you with that.  What kind of campgrounds do you like?

Often times pumps that sit dry for some time get corroded. The corrosion causes resistance. I'd try running s little WD40 though it before I simply replaced it.

Sometimes, simply turning the impeller by hand will free up a stuck pump.

I get this condition in our dishwashers all the time. Most of my tenants seldom use their dishwashers. When they do (after sitting dormant for months), the pump doesn't work. I take the cover off and turn the impeller by hand and it starts working with no problem. Over the last 8 years I've probably done this 30 times and never once replaced a pump.

Tracy,
Sorry for the delay...Been on the road with work :mad: . We like family friendly, with secluded, if possible sites. The kids and us enjoy hiking, fishing, eating and sightseeing locations. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
