Problem: No lights on Intex Pump, pump is pumping

I bought a "Intex Krystal Clear 2150 GPH Sand Filter Pump & Saltwater System with E.C.O." system 4 years ago and it's been working great until recently. It was working fine this season until I plumbed in a large solar heater and moved the pump and filter. Now, the lights of the pump aren't turning on (kind of intermittently) but the pump is actually running.

When I turn it on, no beeps occur and no lights come on. The buttons are unresponsive. Every once in a while the "working" light starts blinking green and I see the LED readout at 05, which was the last time I had programmed. The cell is clearly not making chlorine though.

I did some searching here and see plenty of issues, but nothing that matches mine. Any tips? If not, any recommendations for a new pump/filter/Chlorine generator?

I have a 20x10x3.5 Intex above ground pool. My solar heater is on the ground since I didn't think the pump could handle a roof installation. I'd like my next pump to be able to handle pumping to my roof. Thanks!
 
It may be the new plumbed solar heater is too much for the pump, take it off and see what happens would be my first troubleshooting step. I would also think the run for the pump may be too long if you moved it further away from the pool.
