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.

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

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

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

Have you tried opening a different faucet?

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

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.

Pump under bed, couldn’t reach, had to remove board it is mounted to to access from cubby. Bypassed pressure switch, pump runs, much quieter than before, does not shut off but still no af coming out of any faucet. Rv is level, both pump switches work to turn pump on. I do see a drip coming from pump when on. From pressure switch being bypassed?

Add a board under one side of the RV wheels. Water tanks tend to sag in the middle and pickups are generally towards one end or the other. Lifting one side will push antifreeze toward the other end. All you need to do is figure out which end the pickup is on.

Not sure what is going on with the pump? I would suggest, while having access, to add a winterizing kit, for this process, rather than adding AF to the fresh tank. It takes a while to clear that AF from the tank, when needing to use water again. After a couple of AF laced showers, it usually clears out!
