can you link any of the plugs out to get pump to run (just to test to see if it is the cause) ??

Relay? The pressure switch is on the M/C itself, you could bridge the wires, BUT only to see if it runs, if it starts stop, as obviously it won't cut the power when the pressure is high enough.

That won't work, it's a pressure switch, thus it won't actuate, hence as I say the only way to eliminate is to bridge the connector.
