I will
take what I can get to get me back in the air, and will make any kind of
deal necessary

Ron,

 

If you are interested in a deal with the devil, temporarily wire a manual push button switch across the low pressure switch with enough of a lead to have the switch available on the seat next to you.  Select gear-down and push the button.  Release the push button shortly after the gear-down-and-locked lights come on and the pump starts to make straining noises, as you are now simulating the pressure switch.  This devilish consideration is, of course, if the problem is actually with the pressure switch.

 

Before that, construct an emergency check list for gear down failures with the emergency extension procedure as the last set of items on the checklist.  As Rob mentioned, cracking the dump valve and working from that result is a good starting point for debugging the problem.
