Their totally exposed to the weather and corrosion, particularly if your in road salt country. You might try removing and cleaning each one to see if that makes a difference. But being as it's an 06, it might be time for a new pump. Retired Anesthetist. LTP. Pilot with mechanic/inspection ratings. Between rigs right now.. Wife and daughter. Four cats which we must obey.

In addition your chassis battery might be low. Touring in our 2010 Suncruiser, beaches, site seeing, national parks, chillaxing..

On the top of the pump system are solenoids. You will see a LARGE battery type cable to a large post on the Solenoid. THAT should have engine voltage(12.9 to 13.8 volts). If NOT, then you have a loose or corroded supply voltage from the batteries. IF you have Engine voltage, then have someone activate the system and READ the voltage on the other large post on the solenoid. This post has the cable from the solenoid to the Pump motor. IF you have the same voltage on both sides within 1/2 a volt, then you motor is bad. Good news is, Powergear pump motors can be rebuilt by a Starter/ Alternator local shop rebuilder.

Replaced the suspect valve (Dump) still no joy... Now I have other issues that need fixing (need a hose shop with a portable crimper) then i'll drop in a new pump.

If your reservoir and motor are behind the front grill water can get to the motor bearings.
