    sounds like you might have some corrosion on the wiring , might want to inspect the connections for corrosion and if find some clean and grease the connections !!!

    While your doing that check the fuse connection real close. If it has the old glass fuse inside the plastic holder they are bad about corroding on the connection ends inside the holder.

    Sounds like time to get out the test light. Can you get to the livewell pump?
    First step is start at the pump and check for current at the motor and make sure the motor has a good ground.
    If power is present and ground is good at the motor you have a pump that has gone bad and needs replacing.

    If no power present at the pump when you turn on the switch backtrack and find the point you are not getting the power. Could be a a switch, fuse or connection.

    Most electrical problems are not hard just can be time consuming tracking down the actual circuit to locate what is causing the problem.

    If possible I start at the end in this case would be the pump, if no power then I would check at the beginning the source probably the fuse panel and if power is there then proceed down the line checking at each connection or switch until I located the area of power loss.

    Good luck and have fun.
