Clean all connections-battery -switch- aerator and fuse.

If there is a switch that controls it on and off then it is the switch. If the switch is in the off position and it kicks on then the switch is bad.

Ali if you have a targa check under the dash and make sure no wires are touching where they shouldn't be. its very crowded under there. the control is on the back of the switch. I would check there first.

then check the switch to make sure it has not shorted out. A little water where it doesnt' belong could be the problem . If nothing else pull the fuse for a few days , then try it again , it may be moisture too.

Just curious Ali, are you fishing an aerator in fresh or salt water? If fresh, where, and which bait, minnows? Thanks.

if you get the right lead it shouldn't affect anything else. you have to get just the timer out of the loop. it may take some trial and error , to get the right lead.
