No water pump

Began winterizing today. Same process as last year. Opened tank and low point drains. Drained water heater. Removed filter, closed w.h. bypass valve, closed tank and low point drain valves. Dumped 5 gal af into tank. Started pump, ran for a few seconds as usual and stopped. Went outside to turn on o.s. shower, nothin. Went back in, pump off. Turned it back on and now have no pump. Fuse good, pump switch light comes on but no pump whatsoever. Any ideas? Thank you. 2009 Fleetwood Pulse, sureflo pump.

My guess would be there isn't enough fluid in the tank to prime the pump. Either add another 5 gals to the tank or rig up a siphon to a jug directly at the pump to pull it into the system.

Is the outside shower head on as well as the faucet?

Have you tried opening a different faucet?

Try changing the level of the trailer. You may not have enough fluid in the tank to allow it to get to the drain.

If you have multiple places to turn pump on/off, try another switch location. Could indicate failed pump controller.

Measure the voltage at the pump. Could be pressure switch, can you bypass it?
