Anyone have this happen and what did you do: repair or replace?

I have a 05 SRT-6


A VERY GOOD CHANCE the relay in the RCM has stuck/welded in the 'closed' position. Leave the air pump unplugged until you get a replacement RCM but you might still have to get a different air pump if it is damaged beyond normal use. IF this is the reason send your RCM to tighed1 and have it rebuilt for a spare. If your going to use it as a spare, get a new or rebuilt one so your car is still on the road. Thats my take, cannot think of anything else it could or would be. OK members, any other suggestions?
