It appears my SWG may have died, (checking fuses in a bit). If fuses are good, how can I "hotwire" the pump to run? We have freezing weather moving in.
Thanks

"Hotwire" my pool pump?

There's a relay that you can bypass if you know how to work with electricity.
Do you have a separate switch to turn the pump on and off?
Do you have a picture of the wiring going into the unit?

It would just be the breaker acting as a switch. I'll get a pic. Hoping just a fuse.
Well, notosomuch. Auto parts store only had 7.5 amp fuses. Blew it immediately. I guess its time for yet another main board.........UGH.Glad that it was an easy fix.
You can bypass the relay if necessary.
There's a 6 terminal terminal block.
There should be a brown wire from terminal 3 to the relay and a brown wire from the relay to terminal 5.
There should be a blue wire from terminal 4 to the relay and a blue wire from the relay to terminal 6.
When the relay closes, the power goes from terminals 3 and 4 to terminals 5 and 6.
To power directly, you can remove the relay wires from the terminals and run a wire directly from 3 to 5 and a wire directly from 4 to 6.
Note: Don't do anything unless you understand exactly what you're doing and can verify that the wiring makes sense as described.
There's no guarantee that the wiring was done according to the manual.
