Thanks for the suggestions, I just came back from checking the connections all seem solid, checked the inline fuse it's good, but what I just noticed is one my parallel batteries up front is at 9.6 volts (looks like cells are dry, going to add some distilled water and see if it helps) and when I try to charge by running the engine the voltage doesn't seem to go up, so now I have a new problem a dying battery, and yes it looks like the pump is wired to that battery, so if the voltage is too low maybe that's why the pump won't activate? I was going to jump the connection to the other battery since it's fully charged and see if that will do the trick, at least so I can test, what do you guys think?
The discharged battery certainly would cause some if not all of the problems you described. Jumping the battery with the good battery would at least help you diagnose the cause. Obviously you don't want to leave the batteries connected together for very long least you damage/discharge the good battery.
