Any clogs (has it got cold/frozen where you are)?
Hoses good (cracked?)/connected?
Did you check fuses?

Thanks, Jymmm. I saw the video after I posted the thread. I think the repair is going to be easy. I've lived in cold weather all my life and never had any problems with the pump. It is now intermittent. It worked yesterday, but not this morning. The weather was below freezing on both days. I would be thinking frozen hoses if it was working in one hose but not the other, but the hoses seem fine. The pump is starting to die out. It is almost 16 yrs old so I suppose the pump could fail by now. I'll report back once the weather thaws a bit for me to do the repair.
