Interesting ABS problem, AGAIN

I just posted this question to a thread that's 2 years old and I'm not really sure if anyone's gonna read it there so I am asking for your help here...
2006 maxima
Two months ago, ABS started activating under normal braking with NO lights on, got the following work done, in sequence:
1. TSB on cleaning the hubs and grinding a notch-didnt fix the issue.
2. Changed rear hubs and sensors, both sides, got brand new nissan parts installed - didn't fix the issue.
3. Changed the ABS module ($800 part from Toronto, came off from a "working" car, friend of mine was parting his out and I drove it the day before he took the unit off) - didn't fix the issue, made it worse, now all three lights -ABS, VDC, Slip, are on but ABS wouldn't work. I've confirmed the Z - ID matches on both parts and they have the same part numbers.
Took it to an electrician who took the whole dash apart, checked the wiring, everything is fine but the codes are showing pump failur, abs sensor, abs module, and all those parts are completely fine
Took it to the dealership, they want $1100 labor and $1700 just to change the module then abs sensors then the hub and if the problem is still there, $110 an hour for electrician to diagnose the electrical problems because they say any used abs module will not work, which doesn't make sense to me, so they wanna put in a new one
So now I am about $1700-$1800 into the repairs and the problem is still there - no ABS... can someone maybe suggest something ?
Any help is greatly appreciated

It never will go away for good, its a bad design and that will never change. Im sure my old max is doing it again to the new owner, I had it happen once, 30k later, again....then got rid of it, its due for more issues by now.
