Troubleshooting a Valterra Electric Waste Valve That Has a Open Valve Light Stuck On
Question:
I have Valterra electric valve switches on my grey and black water tanks. Work great but the red light on the grey valve switch stopped working. Valve still functions normally. Can I replace something easily to get that “valve open” red light fixed?

It could just be a weird connection the wires are making with the switch causing the light to stay on. I'd recommend checking the connections to the switch and make sure they're seated properly and making a good connection to the switch.
If the wires going to the switch are fine, and everything is connected properly, then I'd recommend just swapping out the switch with another switch like the Single Momentary Switch # 37213845.
