Bilge pump wiring

[Searay 245]

Does anyone know what the 4 wires coming out of the harness to the bilge pump go to? :huh: :smt100 I have a 2000 245 Weekender. I am able to see that one of the brown wires is hot all the time, but there is another brown and 2 black wires left. Obviously 1 black is ground. I have the brown hot to the automatic switch and a black to the pump right now to facilitate the automatic function. At this point, the switch from the console does not light up or will work which I assume has something to do with the remaining brown and black wire. Any help describing this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. :grin:

Have you looked on the Sea Ray site for the wiring diagram for your boat? It should give you this answer.

Yes I did that but no help. Thanks

SR245, While I went for cover today as ( massive T-storms ) " This East Coast Front " was passing through the area, I recalled your query about the bilge pump. So I ventured down to the Eng Rm.There is no ambiguity in my harness, Brown to Brown, Black to Black, Grey to Grey etc. I'll be working on the boat again tomorrow, so I'll take a look at another harness that might be more revealing ...Good luck, Tim

Thanks Tim, I talked to Ed and am going to try wiring as he suggested. Sounds like there may be a fuse at the dash also that I was not aware of and only made sure the fuse at the transom was good.
