Best sources for onboard water pump replacement?

My SHURflow 2093-204-413 water pump has failed after about 5 years. It quit suddenly - no warning.

The Green PUMP indicator light is illuminated when turning water pump to on, so, I'm assuming it's the water pump itself or why would it stop working?

Could a fuse be blown, and the Green PUMP light still be operable?

Was wondering if the diaphragm or what not internal part or filter could just be stuck?

BTW, all the wires are solidly connected. Checked that first thing.

Should I buy a new screw-on black plastic and clear flow filter also when ordering one?

DVM is the same as multimeter, for your purposes.
Green light doesn't indicate proper voltage.

There are "dozens" sources for RV parts. Just use Google. Here is one:

Was looking for the best/cheapest source for water pumps......

The green light actually indicated a bad water pump in this case.

DVM = Digital Volt Meter
DMM = Digital Multi-Meter (measures more than just voltage)

The green indicator light is only telling you that the circuit was completed to the light bulb, not necessarily to the pump motor. I've found pumps at very favorable prices at Amazon. Not always the cheapest pump price, but with free shipping it beats the others.

Whisper King info/parts break down

Shurflo has 'discontinued' the Classic and Extreme Series

Some 2093 pumps are still available from vendors old stock and replacement parts also.

But if you should have to replace.
Go with the 4008 Revolution Series.

There's a new application part # with the same GPM rating as before. Where have you sourced water pumps is what I'm down to now?

This is not the kind of "green light" that one should trust or obey. Take a multimeter to pump and report back.

I had my pump "failing", sort of. Motor running, no water flowing. Turned out to be debris in intake filter and air leak in the pump housing. It only needed cleaning and re-tightening.

But, by all means, go ahead and buy if you think you have to, keep China happy.

I don't know what is a "screw-on black plastic". If it's a hose fitting, and it's not broken, then disconnect and reuse it. Intake filter you remove, inspect and clean and again - if it's not broken, then reuse it.
The green light indicates a completed circuit. The water pump isn't operating. The screw on black plastic with clear indicator viewer is on every water pump body - you cannot miss them.
