Baja Truck Experts...'01 Dodge anti-lock brake compressor
I just cruised the old Cummins back home in Feb. after I stopped the engine in San Roque, and under the hood the ABS compressor just kept running. I
disconnected the loom that energized it, and got a service engine light and an ABS light. I lost the speedo, cruise control, and the trip computer. I
still have good brakes, but w/o ABS. I'm thinkin' there is a stuck relay somewhere. Anyone know where to look?

I'm not familiar with your Dodge but a lot of relays are located in the fuse panel in the engine compartment with the labels on the panel cover.

Correct TW. There may be two under the hood, and it can have relays in the interior fuse panel. Some relays will interchange, so see if one marked ABS
can be changed with another, for testing only!!! Also, try the tap and wiggle "test". Yeah, just tap and wiggle any fuses, relays, and ABS connections
you can trace.

My guess it would be the sensor.

Dave, the most common ABS problem is a bad ABS wheel speed sensor, though normally one will not cause the modulator to constantly run. Find a shop
with a scanner, and have them check the code.
