Tank monitor has quit

Hi again,
My tank monitor lights were working fine and then quit working the other day. The light that signals the pump "on" still works on the same panel though. Could this be a fuse?
Also, when I switch on the water heater, the red light doesn't flash at all and I believe the water heater doesn't turn on.

A fuse would be a good place to start...maybe those two are on the same fuse. If it is a fuse, you have to start wondering why it blew. They will occasionally blow for no reason, but usually they blow because of a short circuit or overload. (I had a scary moment with our trailer Friday - I went to use the tongue jack and found the breaker had tripped. I reset it, then realized the wires by the jack had shorted out and were burning. I hit the master cutoff and managed to stop the fire that way, but I had a mess to repair, and there are some scorch marks to clean up yet...)

Replaced the monitor from ebay ($35) and works fine.

That's good news and the price was reasonable (I guess). What did you replace? Was it difficult? How did you find it on eBay - I'm not sure I would know what to search for.
Thanks.

I just unplugged the old one and plugged the new one in. Simple as that.
