ABS Pump Runs After Shutting Down Eng.

My ABS pump doesn't want to quit running, even after shutting truck down, have to unplug it. Anyone had this happen?

Have you tried pulling the ABS fuse? My truck used to never have ABS(sliding down a hill back words, locked the tires up and the ABS kicked out, that was about 6 years ago) Then my one mechanic cleared the codes, and so my ABS would kick on and off all the time(sensors are messed) So then I just pulled the fuse, because I don't need ABS, and I'm so used to driving with out it. Once I pulled the fuse, no more ABS motor running.

I guess I need to replace my ABS Controller, does anyone know if I locate a used one, if it must be from a diesel and if it will need re-programmed?

The ABS controller is programmed for use based on tire size and gearing.

At one time the dealer had to program the ABS controller when a new controller was installed.

Times have changed and now you can get a new controller from the dodge dealer that is pre-programmed for your truck based on VIN #.

I've also replaced defective ABS controllers with used controllers with good luck. A used controller to match your truck may be hard to find. If you do look for a used controller you will need to reference the two numbers on top of you original controller to get a match.

Last time I checked the new controller, through some of the online dodge discount dealer parts houses, were ~ $380.00 at discount.

A used ABS controller for the Dodge HD pickup, if you can find one, usually goes for $150.00 - $200.00.
