Assuming you don't have a float switch in the mix...
Black pump wire connects to negative (-)
side of the battery. Brown pump wire connects to the
automatic side of the switch. Brown with white stripe
wire connects to the manual side of the switch.

auto bilge pump has a built in float switch. black is ground, one of the others is hot for automatic, the other hot for the straight on. you want the automatic side not to be switched, so it can work automatically.
