Help all 4 bildge pumps do not turn on

[Christina Nyikos]

Well I seem to have an issue. All of my bildge pumps don't turn on. With float switch or the manual switches on the helm. When I turn on the switches the warning buzzer goes off but no activity down below .pumps do not come on ??????. Any ideas out there ? I can not find any in line fuses.
Any and all ideas and suggestions would be appreciated.

Start with a volt meter at the pumps. If the float switch works chances are the pumps have power and are shot. Scary situation. Pumps = priceless

Are these the original bilge pumps from when it was new and has the wiring been altered at all from original? I agree with OCGrant, you'll have to get a volt meter on the leads by the pump to determine if they are getting power or not. If the wiring is working then you'll have to figure out if its the pump or the float switch that's bad. If its the wiring you'll have to trace it all until you find the fault.
