If you've tested the battery and its good, then most likely the switch, but I have replaced the pump as well.

Simply connect the pump straight to the battery and see if it works.
I would immediately bypass the switch. too many know issues with the older switch. these things always occur at worst possible time, like when bait is super scarce in the middle of summer, you got one piece of what is now dying, and you are in the middle of wide open bite. tsunami 500 pump failures are very rare. bulletproof.
