Followup: Well running again. Electrician hooked up underground wire in conduit and everything is fine again. A short in the underground UF line had caused the problem. Thanked everybody on the electrical thread covering this: https://terrylove.com/forums/showth...ell-House-Underground-Line-Specs&goto=newpost

When the electrician was getting ready to leave, the water still was not running. I asked about taking a readings on the relay and capacitor of the Franklin Control box, and when opened, we noticed that the plastic/brass wire terminal was knocked out of alignment with the lid contact teeth (had happened that day). With alignment, the water was running in five minutes.

Appreciate the help as this made the new year! Thanks.
