Well
I replaced the solenoid and slide would move but motor just wont seem to stay running. I could get it to budge out a tad then stop. Tried the jacks. One rear jack came down, touch the ground and then go back up. After that tried the retract and very very slowly it moved enouf for me to get it back in the full retract position.
baffled i am..
20 year old system. Odds are the 12 volt pump motor is BAD. That is why the solenoid melted/burned(motor drawing excess 12 volt current). RETRACT on jacks has NOTHING to do with the solenoid you replaced or the Pump motor. In Retract, all the system does is electrically open as solenoid for that jack and the springs bring it up. I would replace BOTH solenoids(you have already replaced one so, just the other) and rebuild or replace the Pump Motor. Now, that may NOT be as easy as you think. HWH has changed the size and properties on the Pump motors in the past 20 years. You will need to get the AP number off of the Tank/reservoir, email HWH with that number and ask what motor they have or the correct replacement part. Odds are you will have to replace the Tank/Reservoir as a unit(which comes with the pump motor). If so, you can try taking the Motor off and have a local Starter rebuild shop rebuild it. Doug
