bilge pump manual switch not working (working float)

[cowlotter]

i have a a rule bilge pump where the floats switch activates the pump but not the manual switch at dash. i tested volts coming into the switch and it was same as battery and then when i test from the negative and the brown wire from switch i get no volts but i get full battery volts when i turn the switch. so im thinking the switch works. any ideas on a solution to solving the manual pump switch not activating switch? thanks

Think you have a SPST switch and is not a 2 way switch (ON or Auto).
If this is the case then you may have 2 fuses as in this pic (ignore the alarm). You would not have a exposed splice, you have a brown and brown/white wires.

The switch passes current, so there is either a fuse down stream, bad connection, or damaged wire




The pic below has an ON/OFF/AUTO position but just ignore the OFF position if you have a ON/AUTO switch. Don't think this is yours
