12v water pump

[winstmk]

Hello, was winterizing and pump stopped pulling antifreeze, is there any way to determine that it just went bad, that would be my assumption. Just want to make sure i am not missing something else before i buy a new one.

Thx

Mike

Do you have a multimeter or 12 volt test light? If so, you can check for 12 volts at the waterpumps electrical connection points. If 12 volts are there, then I'd say the pump is bad (could try a rap on it with the butt end of a screwdriver to see if it works again).

If 12 volts are not detected (or if test lamp does not light), check for a blown fuse at your panel.

Was it still running?

In case you overlooked; Be sure when sucking the pink stuff you have a tap open, otherwise the pump will shutoff after building pressure.

Good point; overlooked that!

And it couldn't hurt to double check that the valve to the suction line from the water tank is turned off.
