Hi Mandy , best thing i can suggest is , connect up your water pump / water barrel , then with the wires under the tap that have been cut , touch them together until you find which 2 touched together run the pump , then take those 2 wires to the micro switch .
Note this isn't the best way of doing it and you could blow a fuse trying it , the better way would be to use a multi-meter to check the connections .

Hi Mandy

Have a look here http://www.explorer-group.co.uk/downloads/2003/2003_motorhome_handbook.pdf page 30 of 63. It's a Compass motorhome equipment book but I believe that the instructions are included for the microswitches.

Hope this helps.

Don

They do Michael. I Googled some others for Compass and Bailey caravans which were quite comprehensive. You can almost guarantee to obtain download instructions for almost every piece of caravan/motorhome eqiuipment just by doing a Google. Here's one for Truma equipment http://www.trumauk.com/
