[QUOTE="sweeney, post: 380549, member: 453"] Try it again with a 5 amp now that you have "broke it loose". Sometimes the cartridges get sand or other things in them and can bind, they will usually blow the fuse to protect the motor, if you pull them out and free spin them by hand or rinse them or sometimes even back flushing them will work to dislodge what is causing the problem. If it blows the 5 amp again your internals are probably going out on the pump, I am guessing it is at least 16 gauge wire so 10 amps shouldn't melt your wire but your pump motor may only be rated for 5 amps, so likely it will be the weak link with extended run time if it is actually drawing to much current all the time.
