The fact that the jiggling of the wire had an impact, would indicate that it could be a bad wire or connection.
If you can get at the wires, and check to see that none have come loose, or have worn enough to touch something and ground it.
Do you notice any difference in the voltage when you energize the pump? Wondering if it's trying to work, but may be seized?
The fact that it was trying to work, and moved the jacks, leads me to think that the pump is OK. Of course, there could be a leaking valve, that is releasing the fluid back to the tank, so the pressure doesn't build up.
If you can't safely crawl under the RV with it sitting on the ground, don't do it with the jacks down...this would probably be a time to call an RV Tech.
If you don't get some good answers on this forum, I'd also suggest that you get in touch with KWH, and see what they suggest. They may be able to walk you through troubleshooting, and save you the cost of the Tech.:)
Good luck:)
