I believe I have read on this board that a failure in the auxilliary pump of some kind will cause the pump to draw too much current and burn out the board in the control unit. Some people put a fuse in the auxilliary pump circuit to stop this problem I believe. Perhaps this is your issue.
All the settings work initially for about 10 minutes. Which pump are you talking about? I was suspecting the motor was drawing too much and was wondering if it drew power through the control unit. Each time the board goes up I hear a chirping very briefly. It sounds similar to a hooter valve on a turbo (if anyone owns a Saab, you know what I'm talking about). That is why I thought it was a vacuum noise but I suppose it could have been a bushing dragging.
