Default ABS Pump Runnin

Hey I'm new to the forum,
My ABS light came on when I was driving down the highway. When I turned the car off the pump was still making a noise. I took the fuse out because that was the only way to stop it. Have been driving around without the fuse in and everything seems fine.

Is there anything I need to worry about?

Yeah, not having ABS when you need it. Sounds like something is shorted or there's a relay stuck closed somewhere.

Your brakes will work fine without it.... but you probably want to address the issue, especially if it's something as simple as a relay. I'd plug it back in and scan it if you have an ABS scanner. Some Autozone's have them.... some don't.

EDIT: I guess I should mention that more than likely, your ABS controller is bad.

I found it.... here's a how to that was posted here on this site. It tells you what you need, and how to rebuild your controller. Hope it helps!

Problem with leaving the fuse pulled for abs is that that's not all that is on the same fused circuit, but will do in a pinch
