That sounds like the On/off float switch is shorted.

If it is possible, try to look at the switch to see if it is corroded and maybe you can clean it.

You could try reversing the wires....as a temporary fix?

Do you really need an "Auto" type pump? Most fishing trips, I never turn on my bilge pump.
