Water pump not working

[mclaned1]

Just got a used trailer and the water pump is not turning on. Its a Shurflo pump. There is 14.27 volts to the Red wire on the front of the pressure switch. But no power to the pink wire that come out of the back of the pump and connects to the other connecting on the pressure switch.
The pumpcwill running if I take 3 of the 4 screws out of the pressure switch but them water leaks everywhere.
Its a 2006 prowler 24bh

You can buy a brand new Shurflo Pump #4008 (3 gpm/55 psi) for $65 LINK

I had a pump that developed a leaky diaphragm valve body / seal - allowing water & deposits to make their way into the bearings - eventually the deposits locked the pump up.

if you're NOT running a strainer on the pump you should be (it'll help keep deposits out of the pump),
the strainers can be cleaned or you can replace the screen...the entire strainer (pictured below) is less than 15 bucks


you can rebuild the most of these pumps (cheaper than replacing 'em, usually). I had to replace the drive assembly (bearings) which were about 60 bucks and since i was there i replaced the diaphragm too which set me about another 40....expensive sure, but a lot cheaper than 250 bucks for a new pump.

if you know the pump model number and specs you can search for parts - but ultimately you'll need to pull the pump apart to determine what parts you'll need.

No, it sounds like the opposite of an open valve. It sounds like something is closed or clogged. Any filter canisters after the pump?

Look to see if water is filling your fresh water tank. Sounds like an open valve to me.

Ya. I also had it connected to city water and it was only coming out trickling. I had one facuet at a time then tried all open.
