ABS Brake Trouble

My abs pump motor keeps running after I shut my truck off. I took it to a local shop this morning to see what was wrong but their scan tool wouldnt read anything on the brakes. We played around with a test light and came to the conclusion that the circuit board that sits on top of the pump is shorting out and telling the pump to run continuously. I called the not so trustworthy local dodge dealer and they told me that the motor was bad. I told them what we had found and they agreed but they are saying that the motor is going bad also and that I should replace it too. the circuit board is $370.00 and I think the motor is around the same price. Please help
