Thank you! I had my well guy come out to see if I was checking things right. It seems I'm not getting continuity to my black wire. We put some bleach tabs in, in hopes it's just a clog. May have to end up pulling the pump.

My pressure switch is in the house. The pressure tank is out side in the old well house (new well drilled about 6 foot from pressure tank). 1 to 4 I get 240 and 2 to 3 I get 240 when I turn the switch on. I'll need to go buy a multimeter with a clamp-around ammeter.

I did that yesterday, and now I can't get it to fill back up. I don't hear water running into the tank when the pump is switched on.

How and where do I check that at? Do I check it on the wires at the top of the well casing? Or do I check it coming into the control box? Do I have to have a special multimeter to check it?

It doesn't seem as though I have a top-side check valve. But here are some images of what the set up looks like. I have two different water lines coming from this pressure tank. The pvc pipe line is the one I use. The other line stay off, because of a leak some where.

The pressure at the pressure gauge is at zero (this is the one by the pressure switch). There isn't a pressure gauge on the galvanized tank, which I thought was odd. It doesn't have a bladder, and I read that if your tank becomes waterlogged you can drain it, re-fill it, and it would work...

I'm having an issue with not getting water into my pressure tank. We gave our dogs a bath one evening, and woke up to no water. I noticed my pressure switch looked a little burnt around the contacts, so I replaced it. I replaced my control box, and checked all my voltage to see if I was...
