OVP stands for 'OverVoltage Protection' and is a relay to supply power to the ABS and CIS computers. If the car's voltage exceeds 22 volts, the internal zener conducts blowing the fuse(s) on top protecting the computers. Internally, solder joints can become brittle with vibration and crack.

Resolder it, like the fuel pump relay.
