It sounds like you have a broken wire in your hose or in the wire going to your power nozzel (carpet sweeper).If not that, it could be in the insulator ( the part you plug the hose in the machine). Either way, you'll have to take it to your repair shop.
There are several sets of contacts, most commonly, the wand cracks below the hose handle and a short develops between the wand and the hose. Look there first for burned or worn contacts Test by gently twisting or wiggling this area. Contacts must be replaced in pairs if burned, replace both male and female component,ie handle conatcts and wand cord. On this unit the upper wand tube and hose handle often wera with age allowing slippage and the conatcts in turn will bun. If tehr is "in and out" play the metal inner tube and hose hand grip must also be replaced.
Second the hose handle has its own contact rings inside underneath the hand grip. Test this area by holding the handle and rotating or wiggling the hose from behind the handle.
Third , there are two contacts in the front door of the vac itself. Test this are by holding the vac body and gently wiggling and twisting the hose in front of the vac door about 6"
The wire for the brush runs through the hose,I believe you have a short in the hose.Replace the hose.
