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

 

Had this happen on a Jeep Liberty.
Had to replace the ABS unit.

 

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 have pulled fuse temporarily, I would like to have it functioning though.

 

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.
