Default Vert top pump

How do I go about troubleshooting my top mechanism? It went down fine and won't go up. I hear a 'click' when I activate the switch either way. The seat's out, and the click stoppedafter I unhooked one of the linkages (either up or down, the one closer to me) by the pump.

Thanks

Default RE: Vert top pump

I have the motor out of the pump assembly. LOTS of black dust (dried out seal?) Shot the motor w/brake cleaner, then immediately with bike chain spray lube. One of the brushes is about 1/3 the thickness of the other, about 1/32" thick.
I also put the voltmeter in the connector to the motor - big # one way, big negative # the other.
How much should a rebuild of ths motor cost? Can I do it myself? Or am I better off buying a new one?
