Fuel Pump Keeps Running - Killed New Battery
Went outside today to start the car and it was dead. WTH? It was just perfect on Sunday.
After jumping it and shutting it down, I noticed that the fuel pump just keeps running even when car is off and key is out. Didn't take me long to figure out that the pump running killed the battery.
So what would be causing this? Fuel Pump Relay? Oil Pressure Switch? Fuse to Battery?
Any help is appreciated.

Tap on the relay or unplug it to see if its that stops the pump
If it stays running it could be the oil psi switch.
Pull the fuelpump/ ECM fuse if all else fails!

Nothing worse than reading a thread and never hearing back from the person as to what the final cure was. For me, I replaced the fuel pump relay and the oil pressure switch. The oil pressure switch was the culprit.
END.
END.
