When I turn the key forward the pump never turns off. NEW accumulator and NEW pressure switch. Brake pedal feels just a little squishy. Is the pump gone??

I dont really want to change over to vac brakes since I just spent $200 on PM parts.
 
Check the fuse first. And if you change to vacuum someone will buy all those parts.
 
What was your original problem?
Accumulator, or the pressure switch you decided to replace it anyway?
 
It was doing the accumulator thing. Sencetive pedal and brake light on. Replace the accumulator bled the brakes, same thing. Replaced the switch, same thing again.

I did the accumulator 1st and when the pump still kept running I went ahead and did the switch.
 
It seem you might have more problems than your accumulator or the pressure switch. Check and see if the PM is externally leaking. I sent you an email letting you know if you need some documents to troubleshoot your PM.
 
Chuck,

You have to check for by passing fluid in the system.
See my bleeding thread - there is a section for checking for internal leaks.
