ABS will not shut off?

I have a 2000 F-150 with only 77,000 miles on it. When I was on a camping trip the other day, I heard a motor running when the truck was off. It was something to do with the ABS so I pulled the fuse to not run my battery down. Do you guys know what the problem could be or where to start. I first noticed it when the ABS light came on in the dash before I drove it for about 10 miles then heard the motor when I turned it off. I don't know where to start. I have had the problem though where there was metal flakes on the rear ABS sensor and it turned the light on in the dash.

sounds like an internal short to power, unless you can find something in the harness near the abs unit.

FORD's 4WABS has onboard self diagnosis & uses a special scan tool to read Fault Codes. That is a good place to start.
