ABS issues
So basically in my '92 JDM FD the 4W ABS light got lit while driving to home last night. During the trip I stopped at gas station, and I heard some buzzing noise, like a electrical motor running. I located it to this ABS control unit or whatever under the hood.
It just keeps running even if I turn off ignition, only detaching battery cable makes it stop.
Fuses are okay, so is there anything else that I could to do even try to fix it? At the moment I'm not so worried about the ABS itself (although it is a nice feature), but I'm more concerned about the noise it makes - and the fact that I need to take out battery ground everytime I leave the car.

There's a relay in the ABS unit that sometimes gets stuck and buzzes. Sometimes just tapping on it will shut it up, sometimes unplugging it/plugging it back in will fix it.
My ABS pump did this a few years back once. Messed with it, it shut up, never have had a problem with it since (knock on wood
).
I doubt you'll need to replace the whole pump.
