Tell me it aint SO...

Well, the symptoms are purely coincidental -- the pump would have a
thermal overload and all the messing w/ the pressure contacts would be
doing would be to waste enough time for it to cool and reset. There's
no connection at all between the pump failure described and the pressure
switch.

Did you check the pressure line to the switch as I suggested earlier?
