Jerry, sorry to hear of your misfortune. If you don't see a problem with
the pump then I would say that
the problem is not your pump.
Why not do a quick meter test on your pump line to see where the
short to ground is. Which is what I would think would be the problem from
what you have mentioned
so far.
