I need some help with a macerator problem. It's a mounted macerator with an emergency bypass valve to empty to a conventional sewer hose when necessary. When switched on, the relay chatters and the motor won't run. I removed the pump and motor, connected the leads directly to the battery and the motor/pump runs fine. The battery and circuit breaker are up front with wires running to to the relay and switch. I have a schematic that I can email to anyone willing to suggest how to find the problem. I have messed with it a long time without success. The circuit was designed by a friend of mine who was good at electronics but, unfortunately, has passed away. It all worked for years until now. Need suggestions......

Here's the circuit:

battery + to circuit breaker
circuit breaker to relay
relay to switch
switch to ground

battery - to pump
pump to relay

Thanks,
