That one is a 2 wire, a black wire and a red with blue stripe. #8 is a black with red stripe, comes from fuse 7. Looks like ground is socket 5? Only 4 sockets used on that connector. This all assumes it's the same as a 85 380SL (US)

Thanks again Gilly, mine definately has a different colour scheme it seems.
As a test I cross-wired the ignition signal wire as the power source, so that the relay still had to do it's job, and the ABS worked fine.
I won't keep it like that though, it's probably too much current for the ignition switch circuit.
My battery is only just the other side of the firewall from the OVP, so I may just run a fused wire straight to it.
Thanks again for all your help
