  If I'm understanding you correctly, the pump would be running all the time, if it is wired directly to the battery. If is wired through the switch, as it should be, check for a good ground for current when the switch is on. Also, when it reaches a given pressure, it will stop pumping until the pressure goes down. If all this fails, you probably have a defective pump.

  the best way to do this is to wire it through the ignition switch.
