Not sure what I'm going to do yet but likely will pull it, replace it with a cord/plug and route it to an outdoor digital timer.

For you bragones and all the future folks who search this topic.

Purchased a new timer motor from “pinch a penny pool” on 27/441 lady lake.

$45

No need for the switch component as that was not defective.

Removal, replacement and instillation was a cake walk. Make sure your garage breaker AND the unit (box the timer is housed in) breakers are off.

Mark and photo the wires before removing the timer unit.

3 photos attached - one shows new timer next to failed timer. Two shows the timer unit reinstalled. Note that it just clips in place. Three shows a window that exposes black wheels.

The timer unit only works when those black wheels are turning.

PM me if u need additional info.
