Default If its not one thing its another!!!!!

Ok today when I was driving my car around when i would shut it off I would notice again there is what sounds like a fan or something that wont stop running. Its on the passanger side in the front of the engin bay right under or around the air filter. I just went out to my car and it is compleatly dead. Big problem considering my car is locked and I cant even get in to pop my hood to jump it.
What the hell do I do now? And what the hell is still running that is draining my battery?

Default why can you get "in" your car? Shaved the locks off?

One the bright side.....look at this way, you could have a monthly note of $500-600 every month vs. ..............?

Default SAI pump

Unplug it, and search for why it is running.

Default Coolant temp

Just a thought... Does the coolant temp sensor switch off the SAI pump? Maybe there is a problem with the sensor which was the cause of the original no start issue?

Default No, the ECU turns it on

usually during a cold start. I know they have stuck on before, but it never happened to me, so I don't recall why
