Ok, well yesterday afternoon I switched the pump on and bumped the impeller by hand and it started spinning. I switched the pump off and on several times to see if it would continue to start on its own and it did. So, I put everything back together, hooked it to the pool and turned it on. It was pumping, and the SWG was working, but the pump/motor sounded awful. It ran for about 2 hours and I went out to check it again and it was not running. No noise at all. Lights were still on on the control panel, but the SWG was off and the Low Flow light was on (because no water was pumping). Now when I switch it off and on, the system comes on and lights up, but the pump does not come on. No noise at all now. No humming or anything. Bad motor?
BTW, there is no trash in the pump, water is clean and crystal clear, pressure is good on my sand filter. Pump hasn't been run in any harsh conditions.
