I am having a problem with the brake pump, it won't turn of even with the car turned off. is there a silinoid or switch that could have gone bad? if so where is it?  oh ya its a 88tc 5speed.  thanks.

Sounds like a stuck relay. I don't know much about the 88 ABS brake setup but I know there is a realy in there. Someone else will chime in I'm sure of it.

the relay is located in the red square.  I think there are two attached but the front one is the one you should be looking at. you will have to take the assembly loose.
