Hello,  
before the first dive I wanted to make sure the water leaked sensor worked well.  
But I am having issues with it.  
when I test it ( by shorten a prob or just by simply put it in the water) it does not seem to work. I don’t get any alarm.  
But When I unplug the sensor from AUX 6 on the pixhawk, then I get the alarm coming on.  
any idea ?  
thx

ps: in the configuration I am setted on Pix aux 6  
eric

It sounds like the sensor itself is likely working, but perhaps the probe isn’t fully plugged in, or is damaged in some way? If the probe(s) and sensor are definitely plugged in properly then I’d recommend you contact [support@bluerobotics.com](mailto:support@bluerobotics.com) and let them know what’s happening - they may have some additional ideas for what to check, and/or may be able to sort out a replacement if it’s relevant to do so 🙂
