Only have one live well and it is not working. Not even sure how to test it or even where the pump is located. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The switch has a brown, orange, and black wire going to it. Looked for the pump location but not sure where it is located.

Should be in the bilge area, near the transom, in the very bottom...you might be able to see a screen that looks like a microphone sticking out of the back/bottom of the transom...that should be the intake for the aerator pump...you might have a replaceable type motor unit, or you might have to replace the entire pump...

It might be a manual fill too...... look for a switch attached to a cable pull. The hoses could be intentionally plugged too. Many time it is easier to plug a hose for a livewell then repair it....... they tend to be deep inside the hulls.
