ROG 12RK: Water Tank Monitor Fix

Does your ROG have a faulty Fresh Water Tank Monitor? Follow along with me on my journey to fix my faulty Freash Water Tank Monitor on our ROG 12RK! Maybe my exploits can help you get your Fresh Water Tank Monitor working correctly again!

Great video!

Thanks! I enjoyed your video about adding the suspension lift! You did a great job on that as well! Blessings and happy adventuring!

Hey buds, I'm glad you're able to fix that stuff!
Curious, what does your ROG use for stablization and or is it enough?
I'm not a fan of the ones on the RunAway and thinking about grinding them off and getting scissor jacks in all 4 corners. I've been doing Jack Stacks in the front corners and betweent the doors and fenders plus the ones in the rear and it's pretty decent like that, but it takes SO long to set up. I just want to park it, zip with the drill and go on about my life.
- I get motion sickness pretty easily so just "dealing" with the wobble because it's part of camping doesn't work for me!

Hey there dude! It has some pretty basic stabilizers on 4 corners. Works decently well. Although some owners have changed out to scissor jacks. On the runaway I used to drop the front extra low THEN put out the rear stabilizers. Then I would crank the front jack up and put some pressure on the rear stabilizers. Seemed to work decently well.

So maybe I missed it, but where and how did you wire in the pigtail?

[@TheRunawayGang]

Yeah, it is such a tight space I wasn’t able to get the camera in a position to really film it well. But basically the pigtail itself has 4 wires on it. Red, yellow, green and orange. There is also a white wire tie wrapped to the pigtail. The white wire is the ground or negative wire. The red green yellow and orange pigtail wires are all positive. There is a white/green composite wire that comes from the panel down to the tank that feeds the positive and negative sides of the pigtail. The white of the white/green composite wire, in my case, was already hooked to the bottom lug of my tank probes. So I simply cut the white wire off of my pigtail and didn’t use it. The rest of the pigtail wires are all positive with different resistors on them in that little green connector that differentiates them to the panel monitor. I spliced the red wire of the pigtail to to the green wire of the composite white/green wire that comes from the panel. This in turn feeds the remaining wires of the pigtail. Yellow, green and orange wires. Yellow is connected to the 2nd probe lug up from the bottom. Green is connected to the 3rd from the bottom and orange is connected to the top lug. Boom! Should work now!

Easy peasy lemon squeezy right?!

[@TheRunawayGang]

Do you have a faulty one too?

[@T2Lee2]

Are all the water tank monitors faulty on the 12RKs?

[@TheRunawayGang]

Honestly, I am not sure that the original one was actually “faulty” because the state in which I found it was mostly dismantled by the dealer where I bought it from. I don’t think they were able to figure it out so they decided it must be “faulty” and ordered the new one. The new one is a completely different design using a 2 wire feed with a special 4 wire jumper whereas the old one actually had 4 separate wires from tank to monitor. When I opened everything up only 2 wires were actually hooked up so it is no wonder it didn’t work! Not sure what others experience has been with the tank monitor, but it is a relatively easy fix. Thanks for dropping by! Blessings!
