So we go riding sunday, and fill the ballast bags, empty them some, fill a lil more, just seeing how it works, working fine. Bout 10-15mins after filling the rear bag we go to empty them to leave, but nothing happens! This is a homemade system, It runs on 3 pumps using the acc. swith on the right side of the wheel. You turn some valves to empty and or some to fill. One other thing I noticed is when I engage the switch it makes perfectpass flicker and or cut off. Wierd thing is it was working perfectly sat. and sun. until it went out. I know the pumps cant be bad cause none of them work.I hear a lil noise but nothing like the pumps make
Heres a description of the previous owners installation:
There is a pair of heavy gauge wires running from the battery to near where the drain pumps are. The positive lead of these wires is switched on and off through a 50A automotive relay that is dangling down by the pumps. When you hit the switch on the dash it actually just provides 12V to the relay coil and the motor current is switched on through the relay. If you are hitting the right switch and you are not hearing these pumps come on then you might have some sort of electrical issue. I suppose there is a possibility that I disturbed the connections into the battery terminals when I pulled my amps, but I don’t think so because the pumps were working fine when we did the test drive. There is a circuit breaker push button located right below the switch on the dash that could have tripped. It has never tripped in the past and this cannot be the problem if your fill pump is working.
If u have questions plz ask, I know its hard to diagnose over the net. but couldnt hurt to ask.
