Tank Watch 4 Lights Not Working

Postby Midnightsun » September 10th, 2018, 7:31 pm

Well at least 2 of them are not. The empty and full lights work which leaves the non working Low and Mid lights non functional. Was like this when I purchased the boat and assumed the sender was at fault. Oddly enough the front unit is almost the same except the Mid light does work along with empty and full. Pulled the sender and cleaned them, no change. Ordered new sender and installed, no change! :banghead: Will break out the volt meter and do some testing like I should have done first time around. Just wondering if others have had this issue. I am thinking the low and mid lights are the one that technically should be lit most of the time so maybe the LED's are toast? Are they led bulbs?

On ours, the low and mid are usually lit also. I've seen the empty light and the full light work also.

you can buy the bulbs alone. They are not led, so its a good chance they have failed.

Tom, do you know where we could find those small bulbs, and maybe the tiny ones from the shore power indicators that can only be seen in the dark......thanks...
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

Not sure those bulbs are replaceable unless you do some soldering. Nothing mentioned on the parts list either. This is the only picture I could find of what the lights look like, Sure do resemble LED.

Mine are Tank Watch III and have replaceable bulbs. The 4 looks sealed.
