Help with bilge pump

[larryueckert]

well i crawled my fat a$$ in there and checked the pump all free of carpet so i guess it is blown

That is okay. The wind is planning to kick around tomorrow......

My bilge pump is not working either, and the light on the switch is not working. I crawled down and swapped some wires to test the switch and that's not the problem. In the i-drive the bilge pump is front and center when you open the engine cover, so it is very easy to get to. I checked the screen and there wasn't much debris. I took it into the shop and got a quote on the bilge pump and a few other jobs (all in the how-to section) that made me decide to do the work myself.

I plan to swap the pump soon, but am a little concerned by the fact that all your lights were still working and mine is not. Any ideas what that could mean?

If the light on the switch does not come on, my gut tells me that either the switch is bad or there is no power to the switch, there fore, no power out to the pump when the switch is flipped. To test the pump (it's hard-wired to the battery) put in your plug and fill the bilge with water. If the pump motor is good, it should come on.

I tested the switch and it is good. I am going to play with it tomorrow, and will check to see if the pump is getting power. Thanks for the help.
