Sounds like an airlock possibly, Iv had a few in the past, I usually leave the pump running and disconnect/ connect the hose a few times , eventually, the airlock goes

Maybe not wired the wrong way but did you put the hoses back the right way ?

Most likely airlock - with the hoses connected unscrew the pump from where it's mounted and turn it on then jiggle it about a bit - it will help if you can then unplug the outlet side hose
