How two wire 2 light switch up in 1 box?
Tie all the white wires together under a wire nut and push them back in the box. Tie the black incoming power wire and outgoing power wire, if there is one, together under a wire nut with a black wire pigtail. Connect this pigtail to one screw on each light switch. Connect the black wire going up to the lights to the appropriate switch you wish to use to control that light.

How do you wire one light and one GFCI and another light light and fan with two switches and one power line?
Connect the incoming power to the line side of the GFCi outlet. Now run another wire connected to the line side of the GFCI outlet from the GFCI outlet to the switches. Power one of the switches and use that switch to turn on the 2 lights. Run power from that switch to another switch and use that switch to send power to the fan. Mount both switches in a double pole switch box. If the light above the sink has an outlet on it then you will have to connect power going to that light on the load side of the GFCI outlet. If not then just connect it to the line side.

How do you Connect on and off switch between continuous wire?
First you turn off the power. Then you cut the wire. Strip each end of the cut wire and attach to each side of the switch. This should only be done within a switch enclosure. If there is no extra wire to make a good connection, you can extend the cut ends with wire of the same size as the cut wire and use wire nuts to securely connect the "pigtail" wires. You should only switch the hot side (Black wire in home wiring) and not the white wire which would pose a shock hazard.
How do you know if the fuel shut off switch is good it seems like it is already pushed in HELP?
Use a test light. Attach the alligator clip to a good ground and pierce the power supply wire going into the switch. Turn the key on and there should be power for 2 seconds. Then pierce the wire coming out of the switch to the pump and cycle the key off, then back on. There should be the same 2 second on signal.
