    2 wires coming in from your breaker go to lug 1 and 3. Two wires going out to your pump go to 2 and 4. Tie grounds together with a wire nut, and put a short jumper wire up to the ground screw. Make sure the 2 white wires coming from the timer motor go to lugs 1 and 3 also.

    We need to start with the basics so please don't take this as an insult to your intelliegnce. When you plug your pump motor into the timer, set the running time, do you remember turning the motor switch back to ON? The timer send juice to the pump but the pump must be in the run mode.
