[C320-list] water pump won't shut up

[Brad Kuether]

Check the filter at the pump.

If its full of crud it won't pressure up thus it won't shut down......

My automatic water pump wouldn't shut off when the sink faucet was closed. 
It happened when the water stopped flowing so I assume the tank was empty. 
No matter what I did with the faucet valve the pump kept going and the 
toggle switch on the panel had no affect so I had to open the panel and pull 
the power wire from the back of the switch. Questions: is the switch bad? 
does this happened when the tank runs dry? Is the pump bad? Is the control 
on the pump that activates it when the water is turned on bad?

Would be most grateful for insights before I start replacing things that may 
or may not fix the problem. Thanks, Nat Antler 1994-5 320 #161
