Any ideas? a relay maybe? if so where is it? it doesn't stay on every time after i shut the car off, and when it does i can turn the key on/off a few tiems to get it to stop.

I'd check your relay, mine went bad a year or so ago. It was doing the same thing, after the key was off, then the pump would stay on. Once I replaced the relay I haven't had a problem since.

The relay is located under your driver seat. Put the seat all the way back and it takes like a 10mm or something to loosen the bracket and take out the relay. The relay is usually around 13 to 20 bucks depending where you go. I had the same problem with mine twice.
