ABS Whining, Will not stop buzzing, even with key off.

Have to disconnect battery to stop it, doesn't matter how long you have the battery unplugged for, once you hook it back up, Buzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Stuck closed I'd say. But yes pull the relay out at the rear of the engine bay near the wiper motor and see if it stops buzzing. Those things are in there tight, so be careful you don't break something or bang your knuckles when it lets go!

Well. I was fiddling with the relay and heard a loud click, and the ABS motor turned off.
If it happens again, I'll just take the relay from my parts car.

click on my diy link and go to the ABS section , i tried to do up a schematic illustrated troubleshooting step by step within the drawing to help.
hope its just the relay, there is probably a diode in there and if so its open / shorted.
