My pump was located where every time I'd pump i'd hit both the inflate and deflate buttons and it would lock up. I'd go through this ritual to unlock and try again. No joy. I just could not get that first squeeze without hitting deflate. It would act like it was working but never get hard. Very frustrating. 4 months later I had the pump moved with plenty of extra tubing attached and bingo sweet success AT LAST!!!!! Never been a problem since then.
Ohok glad you were able to resolve. Cant imagine going through another procedure.
