if you have water and pump wont shut off.....check water pressure if above 35 psi then switch is bad or has leak....below 35 psi the most likely problem is the jet is stopped up ...this is inside the ejector assembly at bottom of well....it is inside where the 11/4 plastic water line connects to the jet assembly....must be unpluged and then you pour water down 11/4 side and let it run out 1 " side and whatever was in there will run out into your hand...

You need to turn off the electricity to the pump. Hopefully, it is the only thing running off of that particular electrical breaker switch. If not, you will lose electricity to things you do not want shut off. Also, you need to figure out why it is running. Most probable cause would be a WATER LEAK, so I would have a plumber check that soon.
The note from Growin also makes sense. Either way, I would get a plumber to check things out.

This means that your pump has lost it's prime to the well. You need about a gallon of water to pour into the pump until it is primed. Once that happens it will shut off when it reaches it's necessary pressure.

the two the drift is undesirable or the change is sticking or undesirable. you are able to unplug the pump, and then verify it returned in slightly to confirm if the water is filling up the sump hollow. merely plug it back in to pump the water out. you're able to try this till somebody can fix the project. wish this enables! good success!

All of the answers above could be possible. If it is a dry sump then it can lose prime but not if it is a in well. The water leak is the most likely.

You should call a pump repair person. It could be any one of a dozen things: pressure adjustment, leaky valve, deep well ejector, jet assembly nozzle, draught condition causing a water level problem.

turn off the breaker and check the contacts on your pump...sometimes they get corroded and stick...we have a well pump here in Florida and have to check every so often.....good luck

Readjust or replace the pressure switch.

We had that problem and found that the pump's float needed to be "unstuck" or replaced.
