Foot switch for water pump

My Whale foot switch is not working the submersible water pump in my onboard water tank. Does anyone know how the switch should be wired? As far as I can see it just has a red wire and a grey wire leading away from the two terminals which when bridged operate the water pump. Should it have any more wires, i.e. incoming wires? Does anyone have a wiring diagram? By the way, the pump itself does work if powered directly by alternative means.

Thanks everyone.

Its only a circuit so you need to stick a meter on the switch on its own and see if it does in fact make a circuit. You can at least rule out that if it checks out ok. If no meter, a small battery and a bulb would suffice to check its working.
