At least I could pump them and feel like I had complete control of it. If I try to stop the Venture and the ABS kicks in it literally feels like it will never stop. I end up pumping the brakes anyway just to get the thing to slow down. Maybe this isn't normal but I to bring it into the shop and run up another out of this world repair bill. Anyone with suggestions? Is there a simple "control module" or something that can be replaced? I'm half temped to figure out a way to disable it.

If the ABS isn't working you will (or should) have an illuminated ABS warning in the message box and a red ABS indicator light on the dash.
The hydraulic modulator/motor pack assembly used on your van ('97 thru '99 models) is fastened directly to the brake master cylinder.
The ECBM (Electronic Brake Control Module) is located under the left end of the instrument panel on your van.
This module monitors the ABS and controls the the anti-lock valve solenoids.
If there is a fault this module will store a code.
Hope that helps.
