Shower Problems - No power but tap works fine

[pieman]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out a why the shower in my California doesn't work. It hasn't worked since I bought it a couple of months ago, so don't know what has happened with the previous owner.

It doesn't work at all and makes no noise when the pump is switched on. There doesn't seem to be any power at the connectors inside the shower point at the back, but the switch does seem to work when I tested this on a meter. The tap works fine, but it looks like someone has previously done some dodgy repairs. It looks like a power wire runs straight from the fuse box under the seat to the tap. Any ideas what could be going on here and how this is supposed to work? I thought the shower and tap shared the pump, so can't work out why I don't have power at the shower.

Thanks for yourr help,
From a new Cali owner!

The shower switch is just a parallel switch to the tap switch. The fused feed for the pump is wired to both the shower switch and the tap switch and both the tap and shower switch outputs go to the pump. So if you attach the shower hose and run the tap, you should get some water out the shower as well as the tap. (To test the plumbing)
