sounds like you need another stalk, could try cleaning the contacts inside it if you can

ive seen em fail but still supply 12v to pump, just not enough power to make it work. also old knackered pumps can end up drawing too much power so the stalks cant supply, even tho they work from battery. you've ruled out pump tho as you say you fitted a new one
