Just came back from work, and while I was driving, the ABS light was on the whole time. However, the brakes functioned pretty good.

Now when I came home and turned off the car, I heard something from the engine bay, it sounded like some sort of motor. Opened up the hood, and traced it down, it's coming from the ABS motor. The motor stays on while the car is turned off and it was also very hot.

Anyways, anyone know what the hell is going on?

PS: I just disconnected the the neg battery cable and it stopped. Put it back on, and it started up again.

So I took the 20A "Anti Skid" Fuse out...still turned on. wtf?

Edit: Alright, so I took one harness off that went to the ABS motor/pump, the middle one (I think it's for the solenoid). Stopped running, but ABS light is still on. Pedal feels slightly more firmer then before, other than that, it stopped running.
