Answer
Hi Kurt,
You didn't mention the year or model so I can't be certain, but it could be the pump again, or it could be a short to ground or an 'open' in the solenoid circuit to the pump, or even a problem with the power to the solenoid circuit. I would inquire about the warranty of the replacement pump...could it be 1 year? Let me know the year, model of the vehicle and I can tell you more precisely and also tell me if you have a volt-ohmmeter so you can check out the other possibilities than the pump? And do check out the warranty period as it could be replaced for free, at least the part price.
