Most likely is a problem with the wiring where some wires are crossed...

Default RE: running fuel pump

Either the fuel pump relay has welded itself closed or the computer is not turning off the run signal. Try swapping the relay with the A/C relay. Otherwise pull the relay when parked so you dont burn up the pump. A cheap fix would be to rewire the relay to be powered from a manual toggle switch. It also serves as a deterent fornot so bright car thieves.
