If you have a seperate float switch, there is a splice in the wires joining the wires from the float to the pump. Many times the wires are not sealed properly. Pull these apart, cut back to new wire and reconnect, paying close attention to the color codes.
Use marine butt connectors with heat shrink ends and slather with liquid electrical tape to ensure a tight seal.
Butt connectors: Probably 12 gauge.
