Vacuum Pump Runs Continuously

Our 1999 9-5 SE 2.3t has about 168K miles now. Just did a longish trip to Michigan (through Chicago) and back to Minnesota via the UP of Michigan, and it ran well. Today the vaccuum pump began running continuously - while my daugheter took it to school. She called up with a "Dad, the car won't start" message because the battery was dead. Got it home and I could hear the pump from other side of the garage. I found the 10A fuse under the hood - pulling it stopped the pump, and I heard a "leak down". I found one hose disconnected, but re-attaching it and replacing the fuse did not cure the issue. I will check hoses, but are there any known issues with vacuum pump relay? No apparent issue with brake function observed yet.
Thanks in advance !
