I was cleaning my filters and also the chlorinator. I put everything back together and pressed the filter button (Pro-Logic) but it appears to trip the breaker under the board and the filter does not come on although the light on the board is “on”. I’ve tried resetting the breakers but can’t figure out what I must have done wrong.

Any suggestions?

I’m trying to figure what I possibly could have accidentally messed up. Didn’t adjust any settings. Don’t recall even touching anything besides the chlorinator and the filter. Cleaned the chlorinator with water and muric acid and replaced the filters.

Without seeing and testing the system, it may be that the pump motor decided it was time to quit coincidentally with you doing other maintenance.
The light on the ProLogic just tells you that it has actuated the relay for the filter pump, so it appears to be doing its job.
Are you trying to start it on high or low? Try the low-speed setting. If it starts (it will be slow) you likely need a new motor. If it trips still, you do need a new motor. As long as no wiring has been disturbed this is what is needed.
