This was on a 1998 ML320 with about 190k miles.

Ken,
I was very surprised today, when I logged on to the forum, that my ABS/ETS thread was active again after 20 months. I should mention that I have had absolutely no ABS problems since the cold solder joints were repaired.
you mentioned a chafed wire and I am sure many of us would like to know if it was on the 2 pin connector or the 15 pin connector run. We could take steps to tie the cable more securely if you would care to reveal where it needs attention.
Thanks,
Jim in Phoenix
