first thing I would do is to top off the fresh water tank until it runs over then you will know for sure theirs water, now try the pump.

my pump in my bighorn went bad. would pump out of a jug but not out of the tank, replaced it with a shur-flo sensor pump it now works great. hardest part was gettin the old pump out.

While hooked up to city water, are you getting water flow to any other points in the system? Kitchen, bathroom sink, shower?

Test the winterize hose for suction when the bypasa valve is in the normal position. Put your finger over the end of it. If the bypass valve leaks, the pump will draw in air from the winterize hose.
