Bilge pump running

Post by B town »

Yesterday I turned on my bilge pump and then it wouldn’t stop running. I turned the battery switch to off and pump continued to run. I finally pulled the wire of the fuse to shut it off. I’m guessing I have a stuck float. Does anyone know where the float is on a 2013 A25? The engine was too hot to explore very much yesterday.

I believe it’s on the pump. I had the same issue on my ‘12 last year. I had more money than time, so I had a mechanic swap it. After hearing yours is also stuck, I’m glad I swapped it instead of rapping it w a screwdriver.

I would replace the pump for one that doesn't use a float.
