I'll post a pic of the connector once I get it apart. I'm betting fluid dripped onto the connector over the time it was sitting and corroded the connector.

UPDATE: the connector is a oval rubber style connector with 2 pins (+12V and ground I presume). I cleaned the pins on the motor with some fine sandpaper
and did the same to the rubber female recaptacles in the plug. added a bit of dialectric grease....put back together and working great again.

Same thing here. Power probe gets the motor turning and spraying so it is in the switch or connection.
Unfortunately I am without a helper to push the sprayer button for me to check voltage!

Edit: Was able to reach it just barely. Power to the pig tail when the button is pushed.
Squished the female connector a bit, added some new dialectic grease, plugged it in and Bob's your uncle. All is good.

And that is why I like to use a test light. A jumper wire with clips to hook it to plug & light. Sey light were you can see it when you push the button. If it lights up you got power to the plug.
