Ringo Farms 6x10 Dump Trailer, Not Dumping ?

[Kevin M]

I have a Ringo Farms 6x10 Dump Trailer and its not dumping. It was working fine. I bought this used in good shape with not alot of use. It has a brand new battery, Electric motor is spinning but nothing happens ? Its a power up, gravity down setup and its full of what appears to be ATF fluid. Its an electric pump with integrated reservoir, Any thoughts ?

Any way to bleed the pump - if they get air in them, they don't syphon/ suck oil very well. Or a leak in the suction hose, it is sucking air instead of oil.

Got a brand name on the pump unit, might help someone help you.

I will try bleeding it later today and also post the brand name. Thanks

After 5 minutes with a test light , turned out it was a poorly engineered crimp connector on the solenoid valve. I cut it out soldered the wires and shrink tubed them. Fixed !

For the extra time it takes to solder , it avoids problems like this ! Did I mention I HATE solderless connectors.
