If you are speaking of a pump and control box for a well pump system, it goes on and off first of all normally. I assume you are speaking of it going on and off even without use of water ? If that is the case , you may have a waterlogged tank or a bad diaphragm in a fixed diaphragm tank. This would cause it to go on and off with use of water rapidly.If it goes on and off without use of water it is because there is water leaving the system , because of a leak in a Plumbing fixture or a leak in the pipe from the house to the well, or the pipe in the well sitself. It could aslo be a bad check valve at the head of the submersible pump. Bottom line , get it corrected, before you burn out the pump or cause shorter life to it.

Where is the power steering fluid pump?

The pump will be driven off of the fan belt, so look at the pulleys and see which one has hoses hooked to it that go to the steering box or rack. Sometimes the power steering pump is driven by a separate belt rather than the fan belt. If in doubt, find the hoses at the steering box / rack end and follow them back towards the engine.

Can you use normal relay to start a single phase motor pump?

It depends on what your definition of a normal relay is. If it is a small plug in relay to control the motor's contactor then there is no point. All pump motors need control to start and stop the pump. Whether it is done from a pressure switch or a float system it doesn't matter they both should control the motor's contactor and not the pump directly. Most small relays do not have the amp capacity in their contacts to handle inductive loads. Using a motor contactor also has the benefit to protect the motor with overload protection. Using the overload contacts in series with the control device allows the pump to go off line should an overload occur.
