"If your ABS pump is going constantly, the only thing I think it realistically could be (apart from dodgy wiring) is the ABS motor relay.
Look on the ABS hydraulic unit and lift the almost square cover off. It\'s a bit fiddly to move out of the way because of the hyd pipes but it will go. There should be 2 relays under there. The bigger one is the ABS motor relay. Pull it out. They are in quite tight so it may need a bit of jimmying with a screwdriver, you may break some of the plastic but don\'t worry. Give it a solid bang a few times and a good old shake and then put it back in again. Start the car, go for a spin, use the ABS and hopefully the motor will be working as advertised. Also, check your brake fluid levels are ok too. If the pump is still going, take the relay out with the engine running and see if it stops or not. Don\'t leave the pump running for too long though!"

Had a similar problem with my last car (200sx).  Do as Mark says and you should be ok.
