Hi William,

I'd be willing to bet this is an issue with the solenoid # LC118246 mounted to the pump assembly. Check your wiring connections to make sure they're snug and then test the middle post for 12v power. This is where power comes into the solenoid so if there's no power then you likely have a blown fuse. The outer posts are your retract and extend power so you'll want someone press the retract button and test the post to see whether or not power is crossing over inside the solenoid. If you're not getting power to this post then the solenoid is bad.

If you are then I would trace the hydraulic lines over to the affected leg(s) and see if you possibly have a leak that's not allowing pressure to build.

Let me know what you find and I'd be happy to keep troubleshooting.
