“Abs pump keeps running had to remove fuse to keep battery from running down I have a 1999 Gmc picjup truck. Repair of this pump is $1000.00 most people are pulling the fuse and running without ABS brakes. But the brake light is on all the time so you don't know when your brakes give out. From the resourch I have done this seems to be a very common problem. I believe there should be a recall to fix the faulty pumps. Thank you”
