Hello,

If the pressure is full and it is not getting a signal my first thing I would test is the pressure switch. The switch will connect when the pressure is correct. Jumper across the two wire connector and see if it has power as well.

Please let us know what happens, we are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken

Hello,

We must have a power failure or an open circuit somewhere or possible a bad fuse. Here are some diagrams (below) and some guides to help you, get some testing done.
