We have just got a 4 year old T6.1 Cali and our first Camper
I hadn't checked the water system as it was empty and after filling found nothing was happening when I turned the tap on.
Spent ages looking at the fuses but it is totally unclear as to where the water pump fuse is on the T6.1
Anyway it suddenly started working, but then there was a persistent hum from the wardrobe even when the tap was totally switch off.
It stopped when I disconnected a wire in the access hatch, but now when reconnected the tap doesn't work anymore. I hear the click but no pump noise or water.
Any thoughts or does it just sound like a faulty water pump?

The pumps are prone to failing. If you're lucky it might just be that the impellor in the pump is stuck and that can be freed by manually rotating it. Other than actually getting the lid off the water tank, changing the pump is a pretty straightforward DIY job. This is a useful guide.

there is no fuse for the water pump, however when pump is blocked or running with no water it will stop running.
 
Thanks Nick/Roger. Just been away and after all that the water pump worked fine .... and I found the constant humming off the water pump was due to the switch in the shower having been left on, probably the original cause off it stopping.
