[VAC] Re:funny electric problem-



Alright I have a real "puzzler" (Click & Clack) for the electricians out 
there.  On my central control panel I have a holding tank switch which when 
pressed lights the two small bulbs indicating my present holding tank level, 
no problem.  However, when I turn on any DC operated mechanism in the trailer 
these tank indicator bulbs come on and they are dimmed i.e. when I press the 
tank switch the indicator bulbs burn brighter.  Oddly enough to stop the 
bulbs from glowing I need to turn on another DC light or flip another switch 
on the central control e.g. the central control panel light or turn on my 
water pump.  With this the bulbs turn off but they will go on again if I turn 
on another light...  To make it more interesting this doesn't happen when I 
turn on my vent fan.  Crossed wires in the central control???  If you need 
more info or clarification don't hesitate to ask.  Thanks-
