Outside sink

Our outside sink will not drain. It looses the prime

What does that mean?

Your outside sink has a drain pump that is primed by the water level in the sink.
Are you running the drain pump?

Hi Ace, I don’t mean to hijack this thread. But I have a similar issue on my 2016 Four Winds 29G. The rocker switch isn’t starting my pump. I’ve tried to trace the wires but can’t find where they are terminated or which fuse it belongs to. Checked for power at the pump and showing no voltage with switch toggled. Thoughts?

Ironically, that sink and the bathroom sink both had trouble gravity draining, although I can understand the outdoor sink having more trouble with the horizontal trap. Any way these two things are related?

Thank you!

Hard to hijack a thread when the OP goes MIA so don't worry about that.

My only input would be to check for voltage at the switch - if no incoming 12 VDC there then it's down to wire tracing, especially if everything else works as I doubt that pump has it's own fuse in the power center; it's probably on the "Appliances" fuse.
