    Tntubbs - Have you checked to see if you have 220 going to the pump, the breaker may be tripped or not on , I hope you were easy putting the pump back down in the well and didn't break the wires or one of them. :: Are you on a pressure switch or on the box that has the start compasstor in it , it could be either one of them could be bad. If it is not one of the things I said it could be , take the pipe loose out side the tank and turn the well pump on and see if you have pressure comeing out :: HOPE ONE OF THESE WORKL FOR YOU< GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS ::: F.B.E.

    FBE, He's already stated that the pump runs so power isn't a issue.
    Tubbs, Does the pump hold prime? Could the well point be buried in soil and clogged? What have you tried so far? Talk to me! Cheers, Tom
