This problem started out with the electrical outlet going bad and the pump chamber filled with water, after fixing the outlet I plugged the pump back in and it pumped the chamber down but effluent started coming up out of the ground behind the chamber and behind my house.View attachment ImageUploadedByPlumbing Forum1427422208.090114.jpg

If you look and the layout of the pipes all of that effluent should have been pumped all the way up the driveway, where the effluent came up and pooled in the yard there are no pipes, so my question is was it just to much water for the d-box to handle at once or do I have a broken pipe near the pump chamber?
 
My guess is your outlet pipe broke somewhere near the pump chamber.
The problem is not your D-box, because it would just back up into the pump chamber.
