powerpack motor stays running after turning master on.

Have a 1976 337G non turbo Skymaster. When I turn the master on the powerpack motor stays running only happens after setting over night. only way I can stop it is to open the gear doors and then hit the master then it closes right up and shuts off. anybody have the same problem? microswitch problem? powerpack problem? new power pack 4 years ago

Are the gear doors sagging overnight, partially open? The pump is running because there is a switch that is open. If you have to open the doors then let the pump close them it sounds like it may be a position issue. Any symptoms that could have caused this to start happening? Recent annual inspection or any adjustments made?

Power PAC

I had same type problem a number years ago. When gear retracted and gear doors closed power PAC kept running. Had to pull gear circuit breaker to reset it.
After trouble shoot it was found to be limit switch adjustment. Look there first.
