My bad on warding. Turning the key over to the aux. Position the fuel pump runs nonstop. The pump is pumping & fuel is coming out the return line.

Do you mean fuel is leaking from the return line or it is pumping out when you have that line disconnected? That's what should happen. The fuel circulates constantly. A small amount is tapped off to go to the engine.

Sounds like someone may have rewired the pump to a wire that is hot in aux key postion. If you want to fix it. You will need to find where they spliced in. Look for non-factory rewireing under the hood and possibley from the passanger side floor (by door) at the impact trip switch.
