    Is it just the outside unit that continues to run, or does the indoor blower run too? What breaker are you turning off, the furnace breaker or the condenser breaker. Furnace breaker will be 120, condenser unit will be 240.
    If only outside condenser unit is running, it sounds like you have a stuck contactor in outside unit.

    The furnace breaker could/would be 240 if you have an electric furnace/airhandler,, you didn`t say what kind of furnace you have,, more info needed

    wmproop has a very valid point. Just to make sure you know, the breaker for the furnace is not the same as the breaker for the outside unit.
