Maxine,

You mentioned, "I had already replaced the check valve but it didn't fix it. I have practically replaced everything on it except the motor and the switch. Someone said to take the switch apart and clean all the contacts and see if that works. I just haven't had time to do it. I really appreciate your reply to my problem".

This was posted in an email, not to this forum so I just wanted to make everyone aware :-)

You're right, the copper contacts in the pressure switch could certainly be corroded or damaged, causing this problem. All of the suggestions above from Nightrider1987 and mrelmo is certainly good trouble-shooting info as well.
Hopefully you find the fix! Let us know if you do.
