Recently I started working on a foreclosed home and discovered the sewage pump in the septic tank was tripping the breaker. It was discovered to be a fried capacitor within the motor case, but water in the case had also damaged the motor. I replaced the pump and went ahead and replaced the badly corroded floats. The problem is, the pump has power all the time. The floats are wired correctly and the wiring in the alarm panel seems to be untouched. At the moment I did not get the manufacturer on the alarm box; however, it is a very common box that is tan in color with the three lights on the front, a manual, off, auto switch, alarm silence/ test switch and the horn at the top left. Inside is a contractor with a clear relay under it and a terminal block at the bottom right for the pilot circuit and floats to connect to. The pump circuit is connected to L1 and L2 both from the tank and from the panel box. This seems strange to me as this would certainly give power all the time. PLEASE HELP!!!
