I have a pump that has three wires. black , brown and brown and white.
I have a bildge float switch that has two wires that are the same
color blue.
How is the switch put into the line ?
DIY said one switch goes to a black ground wire amd the other goes to
the solid brown. Then DIY says hook it up to the battery.
They are missing a step ?
I have a red and black coming from the battery. Where does the power
and ground get hooked up to ?


The Brown is the power for the bilge pump. Run that to a fused 12V. Run
the Black to ground. Your pump is an automatic pump so do not need the
float switch and the 3rd wire on the pump is to run to a toggle switch to
12v to run the pump as you desire.
