[C320-list] bilge pump problem

[Chris Burti]

It helps us armchair diagnosticians a bunch if you tell us what you
tried and what the symptoms are/aren't.

I assume from your reply that the pump is silent.

Query: Is there an auto/off/run switch under the breaker on your panel?

Did you try it in <run>?
