There are a few possible reasons why your Makita MAC5200 compressor is still not shutting off after replacing the pressure switch:

The pressure switch is not installed correctly. Make sure that the pressure switch is properly seated in the compressor and that all of the connections are tight.

The pressure switch is defective. It is possible that you received a defective pressure switch, or that the new pressure switch is not compatible with your compressor.

There is a problem with the compressor itself. It is possible that there is a problem with the compressor's motor, valves, or other components.

To troubleshoot the problem, you can try the following:

Make sure that the pressure switch is installed correctly.

Try using a different pressure switch.

If you have a multimeter, you can test the pressure switch to see if it is working properly.

If you have ruled out the pressure switch, you may need to take the compressor to a qualified technician for further diagnosis and repair.

Here are some additional tips for troubleshooting a compressor that is not shutting off:

Make sure that the tank is properly drained. A clogged tank vent can prevent the compressor from shutting off.

Make sure that the compressor is not overloaded. If the compressor is trying to compress too much air, it may not be able to shut off properly.

Make sure that the compressor is not overheating. If the compressor overheats, it may shut off automatically or it may not be able to shut off properly.

If you have tried all of the above and your compressor is still not shutting off, you should contact a qualified technician for assistance.
