You must have read the bildge pump thread,,,it jinxed me and it was a installation and wiring nightmare. I'm still sore from trying to be a contorsionist!!!

I found once it worked from the manual switch, I had a dead battery lead to the float switch.

Try this..it worked for mine..
Find the 2 wires (near the pump) that feed the pump by the manual switch, put the meter on them and determine the 12v+ and 12v- . Run a NEW wire (disconnect the old one) directly from the battery (+) through a fuse and through the float switch to the (+) wire to the pump. The pumps ground wire will take care of finishing the circuit.

Both manual and auto should now work ( I said should).
Good luck.
Wait til your done to drink beers!!

My float is a sure bail, and is still the original (8 years) its a blue square box with the float inside.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
