I apoligise for over simplifying this but recheck how you installed the new one. Normally you have "AUTO" and "MANUAL" wires to connect. *3 wires, 1 is ground,1 is manual and 1 runs thru the float (auto) to operate the pump.
As for this happening on two pumps, coincidence or a bad switch at the helm if wired correctly.
Give a little more info about what you got hooked up.
I generally donot use the manual portion and hook directly (fused) to the battery with the auto portion.
Oh some come with packing to keep the float from bouncing around and need to be removed prior to installation.
