Thanks for the info Tom. I solved my problem late last night while standing on my head with a flashlight in my mouth in 200 degree heat. The black wire to the pump had a loose connection where it had been spliced, causing the pump to stay in auto mode, so I did not need to go looking into the timer or switch components thank goodnesss. Since I am in livewell repair mode, now if I would like to figure out a way to make my livewell pumps less noisy. I thought about maybe wedging something between the bottom of the pump and the hull? Anybody have any ideas on how to deaden the sound of the pumps?
