Air Switch Repair
It sounds like you have a bad air switch located in your motor.
The air switch is what the air hose connects to on the back of the motor or on the box on top of the motor. The other end of the air hose is connected to the air button on the lip of the tub.
This is a latching air switch and when you push the air button it latches to send power to the motor. When the air button is pushed again it opens the latch in the air switch and stops power going to the motor shutting it off.
When a jetted tub will not turn off it is usually because the air switch in the motor has quit functioning. A new air switch for your pump costs around $20
I assume you hooked the hose back up to the air switch on the motor. There will only be a couple of things to check. Make sure you have a good connection with the air hose to the air switch on the motor. Sounds like maybe the air switch may be bad. The Air Switch is a latching air switch so if is broken then it won't latch when the air button is pushed.
The Magic Touch control has been discontinued now for some years. You will need to remove it and install a control that will have it operate with an air switch/air button system. This is a pretty simple fix but will run you right around $70 for an Air Switch Kit.
