Angry Gear Problem

Well I have gear problem again. I flew up state New York and gear failed again. I selected gear down, gear came down, doors did not close, therefore no green light. I selected gear up, gear did not move. No popped circuit breakers. So I got on the handle after selecting gear back down, to close doors and get pressure on gear down and got a light. When on ground I pumped gear doors open than turned on main switch but door did not close. I pumped again to make sure I still had good hard pressure on gear. I had the mechanic at that field check voltage at pump motor. We had 24 volts, but motor did not run. So I took off for home with gear down. After airbourne I pumped doors closed. Thank god I had the large doors removed 4 years ago, so I did not have the big door drag. I flew home with gear down. Slow ride. I checked pressure on gear by pumping again before landing still had hard pressure on handle. Will take to my regular mechanic on Monday. I hope it is a lost of ground circuit not a bad motor. I left a message for Don N. to get a cost on new motor.
