Turning on the vacc's will often trip, when brushes are worn, the only reason I can imagine a pump causing a trip would be water spraying or dripping on an exposed wire. Unless the pump has siezed, highly unlikely.

Could most commonly be the brushes or the pressure switch on a demand pump.

Less common is the motor itself (windings, armature/commutator(sp).

Safe and happy cleaning :)

you pump is dead, buy a new pump, or a new pump motor, as one half of the pump is water the other half does the electric thing, so it must be the electric end thats gone
