Background....the air conditioning cooling pump burned itself out due to the loss of prime and was replaced with a new pump. The electrical lead for the new pump was made by cutting the original wire at the old pump location and a female tri plug 110V receptacle installed. 110V power to the new pump was provided by simply plugging into this receptacle with no change to its wiring. This also avoided any changes to the circuitry at the compressor end or control functions of the A/C unit. Unfortunately, when starting the system the pump does not turn on, although the compressor and other A/C components do.
Unplugging the pump and plugging into a separate 110V power source the pump runs beautifully. Two strong water effluents exit from the port A/C drain thru hulls. Now, with the cooling waters circulating and if one starts the A/C unit,it operates 100% correctly. I ran the unit through a full range of heating and cooling and it operated as required. I also tested the female triplug for 110V power (the lead from the compressor/control function) using a multi meter. There was no power from any of the three leads.
I see no fuses, solenoids, switches in the circuit diagrams.....what am I missing....thoughts....thank you
