Sorry for being such a noob, but is the W126 rear end similar to my W124?

I just got my car back from the mechanic. Wow, I am amazed. Everything is in working order (except I now have an ABS light on), and the total cost was.... Drum roll.... $64.50. That's from a mechanic who charges $95 an hour!!
The only thing that is amiss (other than some metal) is now I have my ABS light stuck on, so I am assuming that perhaps a wheel speed sensor got broken, or the wire pulled out. Can anyone suggest a place to look? I didn't see any sensors near the rear wheels. Where are they? Thanks!

The sensor is on the passenger side of the differential, behind the drive shaft flange.

Thanks!! I'll go check it out. Probably just yanked the wire off, or broke it.

Well, I was right. Busted the thing right off. Mechanics didn't notice it because the wire end managed to tuck itself away inside the control arm!
From the looks of it, my pinion seal didn't survive. Somehow I knew $64.50 wasn't the end of it... Can you tell from that picture of the wire if I lost my plug end, or busted the sensor? I can't get up under there enough without ramps or a lift.

Looks like the cover and bottom bolts got a good shave.
 Next time the cover is opened up. You most likely not be able to reuse it. Be sure to check for leaks in the future in that area. Quote:
 The sensor is busted. You'll need to replace it. .

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Wow, that sensor is $200. I am going to have to see if I can scrounge one at a junkyard before I plunk down. Hate to be cheap, but that's a pricey sensor.
