Hi Rob, Did your pump work on "Manual" in the past? Meaning it is wired correctly? If so, the "Manual" position on the switch just bypasses the float switch so there must be a break in that circuit from the switch to the pump somewhere, perhaps a corroded connection. Start with a voltmeter (or a test lamp) on the back of the switch to see if there is power at the terminal on the back of the switch for the "Manual" side when the switch is in "Manual". If so, then follow the wire to the next junction and test it there., and so on. If there is no power at the back of the switch in "Manual, but there is power on teh "Auto" side when in the "Auto" position, then your switch is bad.
Hope this helps. Ken H.
