Thank you - you woudl not happen to know what sensors these are and where to get information on them - the monitor works just dine with the fuel and waste water garages and the second water tank - its just this one - somehow I think that that exposed wire with the small copper plate should be somewhere else - the sensor module is in such a tight awkward position I cant get at it, and don;t want to rip out a connection by accident. Its a small rectangular "box" with some wires going in and out of it - one seems to be connected very far down Thanks Jim

The original Snake River Tank monitors that Hunter installed have two problems: 1. They've been obsolete for at least 20 years, and 2. Hunter didn't know how to install them, so they've always had problems. So instead of trying to fix whatever is causing the current problem, I'd replace it with a SCAD monitor. They're top rated, reasonably priced and available from a number of retailers including Amazon. They also provide a continuous contents level instead of the usual 1/4, half, 3/4, full.
