ABS Light/Rough Idle Quirk
On my 91 every now and again, when I start the car, the ABS light will come on and the idle will be rough. Then after a few seconds the light goes out and the idle is immediately smooth. Just a minor quirk...any ideas what's going on?

Might be voltage regulator and/or brushes on their way out.

It is the overvoltage protection relay behind the battery. Will have a red top with a fuse.

I'd second that. OVP relay on it's way out.

I would also suspect the OVP.
If you have a soldering iron, try reflowing the main pins contacts to the OVP board and see if that cures it. Lots of write ups on how to do this and fairly easy. |

Believe it or not, I had several of these lying around in my random parts bin! So swapped it out.
Interestingly, the old part number 201-540-32-45 is no where in the MB parts system. The guy at the MB parts counter was telling me it's not an MB part...when I was holding it in my hand! Anyway, hopefully that does the trick. Thank you all for pointing me in the right direction.
