Is your water tank full??

I am back to working on the freshwater pump problem. I replaced the old pump (unknown age) with the same model Jabsco ParMax 1 that had failed and now it is pressurizing the system, so the old pump was definitely the problem. However, the new pump will not shut off, even if left for extended time. I can find no water or air leaks and the system stays pressurized enough to get water from the sink days after running the pump, so it does not seem to have a leak on the outlet side. I am stumped as to why it will not shut off. Suggestions?

What pump did you replace yours with?

I confirmed there was water in the tanks and flow to the manifold that controls tank choice. But there was no water in the filter after the manifold and before the pump. I removed the hose connecting the manifold/filter to the pump and when I sucked on it, I got water, so nothing appears blocked. When I turned the pump on (Par-Max4), I could not feel any suction on the opening. I presume these are self-priming pumps, so I should have felt some pull. The pump is 30 years old, so I am presuming it is just dead, but wondering if there is any other scenario that might make it not work before I replace it.
