Anyone know what the issue is??

Well, you could ignore one of the more important systems on the coach, or repair the problem so it never happens again. The problem is the design of the MicroTrend tank indicator sensor. It is basically a threaded bolt with a rounded head that goes into the tank in 4 places. While it "won't catch toilet paper" as some think, it will short out to the wall due to the tiny insulator ring between the bolt head and the wall itself (which conducts electricity due to slime on the wall).
This thread is how I solved my tank indicator problem.

Horst Mircacle Probes - Get accurate reading on your RV's holding tanks
Here is WHY your probes don't work and here is why the Horst probes DO.
One thing I did learn is to use black tank probes in the gray tank too. Long haired folks put too much hair in the gray tank for the "fresh" style (coil at the end) to not get hair wrapped on them. The Black style work great in both kinds of tank and are worth the extra money.
