I wouldn't worry about the monitors. Your Monty will tell you when she needs to be emptied: the toilet will burp; the shower will start filling up around your feet; and when you do the dishes, you'll say to yourself: self, go pull the handle!
In our experience of fulltiming, the black tank takes about 7-8 days with *our* normal useage; the shower is, with the Oxygenics Shower head only about 2 days (we like long showers); and the galley is also about a week.
I don't even look at them anymore. In my limited experience, they are as worthless as tits on a boar. Get it?

My hot button just got pushed..The sensers are useless..so why are they there. why do they install them, why do we pay for them.. If they are there I want them to work...We will see what Aram's answer to that question is at the rally.

As long as you don't use yours, I'll give you my address, send you a couple of dollars for postage, and you can ship it to me. Thanks

did our pilgrimage to the Rv salvage warehouse today in Elkhart. They had a row of sensor panels, new in the package, exactly the same one we use as I had the ckt board number written down.... and several different brand name campers on the panel..price 47.10 We did not buy one.

I added a Vena tank monitoring system, pretty slick, I really like it. The original drove me nuts, so I added a good one.
Google Vena tank monitors. Picture on Ozz's Mods.
BUT, to answer your question, I wouldn't bother, unless you are sure it is the C.B.
Try unhooking the power to it, this will 're-boot it' and try it then.
May work...as well as they work.

Speaking of the tank monitor, I would like to hook up another tank monitor at the docking station area so I can check tank levels when I am flushing using the black tank flush. Would just piggy backing off the connections of the monitor in the trailer work?

Fire5er, Not sure if it would work, but while you were flushing and for a short time after the sensors will be active because they will be wet. So you will not have an instant read that the tank is empty.
