Pump running non stop in trunk killing the battery - is it the dynamic seat pump?

My battery died overnight, it was as dead as Abe Lincoln. It was perfect just the day before, not a hint of anything wrong. I charged it back up, Solar tester says it's still good. I do hear some sort of pump in the drivers side sidewall of the trunk running. Is that the dynamic seat pump? Why would it be running non stop? How do I disable it? Those seats annoy the heck out of me anyway. Any other ideas?

Maybe it's working all the time because it cant build up the pressure? (theres a leak)

I don't have the dynamic seats, just the multi contour ones but I also have a small compressor in the left side of the trunk. It's dead since I bought the car so I assume you can just unplug the power from it and you'll be good.

Yes. Unhook all the lines, take the two bolts off and toss it in the trash.
