Re: Bilge Pump

I thought the same with regards to why the breaker did not trip. Once the pump is out, I'll check whether it's has an open circuit or short. I found a number of pump manufacturer's that make the replacement motor cartridge. I believe the original in my Cobalt was a Mayfair. The local dealer uses Att...

Re: Bilge Pump

Bilge Pump

Just ran into an issue with the bilge pump on my 2005 240. The bilge pump was replaced a couple of years ago and worked fine a month ago when I was cleaning out the bilge. Went to to do some more cleaning the other day and the bilge pump would not turn on with water in the bilge. The dash switch als...
