    So does the pump hesitate when you activate with a switch at the relay?

    You can see above or, I'll just say.............it hasn't yet, but I'll run it longer tomorrow to find out. What would be the difference between it failing via the switch and it failing via the relay, provided its a brand spankin new relay.

    Thanks,

    run a wire right from the pump power connection and monitor it for voltage, either the pump gave up the ghost or you have either a bad wire or ground.

    Pumps will go without even making noise, some make noise all the time and like mine, some are completely silent.

    This is exactly what I'm doing. The DMM is up front with me so I can monitor it. I leaning toward bad pump myself.
