Pulled the pump to check it out. Noticed some rust on the pump cover, thought nothing of it. attempted to disconnect the electrical connection from the pump, it broke (made itself into a powder, really)

"Oh, i'll just replaced/ hardwire those connections" I thought to myself.


Was I wrong... There was no bringing it back to life. unscrewed the cover to the electronics, only to find a rust-covered board. It was far beyond dead...
