My battery is going dead as the result of the fuel pump remaining on continuously. I current pull the fuse if I am going to be parked for than hour. I am looking for a schematic to be able to isolate the problem. The ECM controls the fuel pump through the fuel pump relay. When the key is first turned on without the engine running, the ECM will turn the fuel pump relay on for two seconds. This builds up the fuel pressure quickly. If the engine is not started within two seconds, the ECM will shut the fuel pump off and wait until the engine starts. As soon as the engine is cranked, the ECM will turn the relay on and run the fuel pump. It's possible that the ECM is defective or the relay is stuck. Un-plug the relay and see what happens. The relay is located in the engine compartment on the driver's side of the dash panel near the power brake booster assembly and has a 5-pin connector with the following wire colors: A (2) Red wires B (1) Black/White wire C (1) Dark Green/White wire D (1) Red wire E (1) Orange wire As a backup system to the fuel pump relay, the fuel pump can also be turned on by the oil pressure sender. The oil pressure sender has two circuits internally. One half of this sender is a normally-open switch that closes at about 4 psi (a normal cranking oil pressure) and remains closed while the engine is running. It should open when the engine is shut off. The other half of this sender is for the oil pressure indicator in the instrument cluster. So, if the fuel pump relay fails, the oil pressure sender will close and run the fuel pump. It is possible that the oil pressure sender is stuck in the closed position. You should disconnect it and see what happens. The oil pressure sender is located at the top rear of the engine. If the fuel pump continues to run with both the relay and the sender unit un-plugged, then the fuel pump it'self is the problem.
