Default Intercooler will not stop pumping.

Hey all. I am having a problem with my Intercooler pump not shutting off after i turn ignition off. Its a MP122 on a 2003 Chevy. I understand that they will run a short time after ignition off but how long will they run max. Once every 3-4 days it will stay running till Battery dies. The temp is like 40F... cold out and the truck is only running for 10 -15 min max and only to and from work. No hard driving. I have it installed as per Magnachargers instructions. This has only been happening the last few weeks. No problems before and have had it installed for 7 months. Any input would be great. Thanks all.

The relay in the circuit to the pump may be sticking.

Make sure you have the relay mounted in the correct position. They can get water in them if you have it upside down.
