WHOA! There's no DC power to the low float switch! So, the low float
switch cannot power up the relay coils! If you close the high switch, IT
delivers power to the lower float switch, and because it is closed already,
it powers up the relay. Now that the relay has power it will hold power on
itself through the lower float switch until that switch opens. When that
switch closes again, again it has no power until the high float switch
closes.

Now, it's simple to fix. MOVE the lower float switch connection on the
high float switch from the right side of it to the left side, the side
that goes to the fuses. Voila! The power's always on the lower float
switch, now and it will always key the relays. Do it on both pumps.

Problem solved....next problem....

By the way, I fixed a Russian TV set by remote control a few weeks ago. It
was sitting on Sergei's desk on Sahkalin Island in the Sea of Japan. He
emailed me a PDF file of the schematic so I had it in front of me. We used
the color cams so I could direct the connection of his DVM to the circuit I
wanted to test. Found a shorted capacitor in the horizontal sweep circuit.
There's now a working TV being watched by two kids in Sahkalin Island,
Russia, because of me....way cool...(c;
