PROBLEM
DIAGNOSTIC CHECK
RESULT
1. Pump motor does not
run.
Check that power/ground
cables and control cables
are connected properly.
Connect.
Check for voltage at pump
motor while ignition switch
is on and LIFT control
button is pushed.
If voltage is present, pump
motor has failed or pump
has seized. Motor brushes
may be replaced, otherwise
replace pump/motor
assembly.
Check for power to the
solenoid by testing for
voltage between both
large terminals and
ground.
If voltage is not present
between one large terminal
and ground, the cable
between the battery and
solenoid is disconnected or
broken.
