That is exactly how I isolated the problem and it turns out that the pump is shot. When taking the pump out, I found out that a piece of bark was caught in the impeller, locking it in place. This must have burned the pump motor out. New one on order. Will report back.

I try to isolate the problem. First I will disconnect the cable from the motor. On newer models this means cutting. Then doing a continuity check.
If the cable is ok, then I will separate the pump from the motor and test each separately using alligator jumper clips.
The wire can break between motor and pump, or water in either can cause a short. If the components work then I retest the cable by attaching to the power supply (after taping off the bare wires) and bend the last several feet of cable to see if a possible broken wire re-connects causing a short and blown fuse.
