When I flip the switch to either fill or empty, the switch just blinks as I hear a click like a relay back at the controller. But the motor doesnt run... Any ideas?

Not sure... Have you tried tried connecting it directly (fused to a battery) to see if it'll run that way? That way you may be able to determine if it's the pump or electronics?

my 2017 has 3 pumps, have you looked to see if you can take out one of the others that's working and put it into the place that's not? That may be a better way to come at it now that I think about it...

My 2016 212x only has one pump that splits to two rear saddle mounted OEM bags. I just tried to directly wire to the battery, it works when I hook it up like that. I would like to retain the timer controller. I should add that I do not have the Connectx, just rocker switches and analog gauges.

Blown fuse was the culprit.The watertight fuse holder was full of water, giving induced voltage readings to my meter. Replaced the 20A fuse, all works now.
