    08 Skeeter ZX225 livewell fill problem

    On my 08 ZX 225, the starboard fill pump quit working this weekend. I pulled the fuse and when I put it back in the pump came on. Before, it would not turn on when on "auto" or "on". I changed the bullet connectors on the wires going to the pump after I found corrosion. This did not help. The pump cartridge works when wired directly to a battery. At times, I can get voltage to the the pump and make it turn on but at other times it will not work. I can hear what I think is the timer clicking in the dash, sometimes it clicks pretty rapidly (2-3 times in 10 seconds). I have not been able to check with the meter to see if voltage appears when it clicks. I did check the wires from the fuse panel to the pump and the circuit is complete. Any suggestions on where I go from here???

    Re: 08 Skeeter ZX225 livewell fill problem (booyaah)

    By "on" do you mean pumping water? Sometimes they can get airlocked and be running but not pumping water. If you flip the switch and get no water, throw your TM on high and run backwards, or fire up the big motor and throw it in reverse. This will force water through and they will start pumping. If the pump does not run at all, you may have a switch or dash panel issue.
