Default Re: Loud noise from air pump, broken?

Am I correct in assuming that the pump has gone bad and needs replacing? Anyone have a source for one that doesn't cost an arm, a leg, and a second student loan?

Thanks,

Edit: Can someone move this to troubleshooting. Trying to use the iphone app and failed to place this in the correct thread.
I guess the relay in the RCM has stuck and the pump continues. Did you have the ignition completely OFF?
