    I have a question. I am in the process of wiring in a pump. I am just wanting to
    make sure I have it wired correctly. I am wiring from the =ve on the switch to
    the +ve on the battery. from the battery to the +ve terminal on the motor. From
    the -ve on the pump to the -ve on the battery. And from the battery to the
    switch.

    Doesn't quite sound right. I'm sure the switch has to be wired into the circuit between the battery and the pump. For instance, from Battery + to one terminal on the switch, from the other terminal on the switch to pump's + temrinal, from the pumps - temrinal back to the Battery -.

    That makes more sense.
