Camper toilet Thetford C200 CS d3

[muletopia]

We recently puchased a camper with a Thetford C200 CS D3 toilet fitted.
I have checked that 12 volt power of the correct polarity reaches the toilet and that pressurised water is at the start of the flush tube of the toilet.
When the "flush" button is pressed you can hear the toilet valve throw (or a soilenoid if that is what they have) But no flushing happens.
Can anyone throw light on this?

Is this the system that uses the main water tank and pump for flushing?

Some systems have a flow restrictor in the tube to reduce the pressure of the water(if the pump flow is too high). Check for a restrictor in the tube or in one of the connectors or a t-piece...just a thought.

Many thanks AB
I thought that I had checked the fuse, but when I put a multi meter on it it was revealed to be blown. This does not surprise me much as when I first started looking I did not hear the valve throw. I looked at the wiring diagram and as supplied the polarity of the 12 (15) volt supply was reversed, fixed that then I could hear the valve throw.
So next time I go into town I will acquire a new fuse (at least one!).

Ta Nisshead,
The suggestion of fuse by AB seems at least possible, will try that first

Yeah go the fuse,

Another possibility is an air lock so if you ever get this you could pour some water into number 3 vaccume breaker (I think) and try again as that should get it pumping again

Thanks AB,
Replacing the fuse after fixing the wiring did the trick.
