That solenoid for running the pump motor is an auto parts store item or maybe Tractor Supply. You should be able to get one locally. Take the old one with you but be sure to take a picture of the...

The up/down switch should be spring loaded and return to the center off position on its own if it is a stock switch and is functioning properly.
