When I try to use the manual mode no matter what I do I only get a click in the solenoid by the pump and no movement or pump turn on at all. 2018 Momentum 376th.

If you are not hooked up to shore power, try doing that (with the converter on) to see if that will energize the pump.
I'm not sure if the battery disconnect switch on your unit affects the leveling pump, but check it anyway to see if it was accidentally bumped to the "off" position.Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself.

Batteries were low and I did not see a charge coming in from the cables/converter. I externally charged the batteries all night and the would not come up so I replaced them. Everything seems to work now except I still do not see a charge coming over the cables with a voltmeter. Is there a way to turn the converter on/off? I have never seen such a switch.

Assuming a basic knowledge of working with electricity, as JeffC stated check the breaker on the panel first. If that doesn't work there are two 35A fuses on the converter. They will only blow if the + and - are accidentally reversed on the battery, but they are worth checking. According to GD Parts Lookup website (link on menu bar above) your rig has the 55A model of the WFCO converter. Exact same one I had in mine. It literally plugs into the back of your circuit breaker panel. If you're familiar with DC voltage, checking the output is very simple--just put your multimeter across the output.
The manual for the converter is here: https://wfcoelectronics.com/wp-conte...ors-Manual.pdf
Definitely (please!) let the forum know what resolves your issue.

Been around electricity a lot and RVs for 22 years. Own two at this time. I am only getting 12.4 VDC from the converter when it should be in the range of 13.2-14.4 so it appears my converter is starting to fail and cannot keep up the batteries fully.
