    2001 Tundra, Fuel Pump stays on(for hours) after ignition off and key is removed. Eventually will drain the battery.

    I had the fuel pump replaced 2 months ago. and have gone through 3 Batteries. I did have an aftermarket alarm system removed about 4 months ago at the same time as a Alternator replacement

    Sounds like a sticky fuel pump relay. From what I just read, its behind your glove box, middle relay. Thump it a few times. If the pump shuts off, replace the relay and have your battery checked for low voltage.

    I drive a second gen, so I'm not personally familiar with it. I'm finding some conflicting information. Some sites say the relay is literally behind the glove box, you have to remove the glove box to get to it, then theres info like this video for a 2000 tundra, and I can't imagine they changed it for your 2001.
