I unbolted the bilge from the floor and the float switch fell apart as I lifted it so I need to replace obviously, so I purchased one and connected it now everything works properly..

Glad you fixed it. Sorry we were no help.

The dim light and slow pump make it sound like there was "some" connection between contacts, probably due to some conductive sludge touching both contacts.
