I've already spent more time than I'll ever recover from reading thread after thread after thread of similar symptoms for glowing lights on the dash panel. Standing by my comment that I would likely not own another MB IF I HADN'T HAD SUCH GOOD FORTUNE WITH TWO PREVIOUSLY ACQUIRED CARS.
I agree with Diseasel300, you've stated you replaced the OVP which did not help, the next logical step would be to trace the wiring. There is maybe 2ft of wiring each at the front sensors, which is where the problem is likely at. Your long battle with the abs light may have been resolved within 30 mins - 1 hr of actual physical work on your end. If a glowing ABS light frustrates you to the point where you've made the decision to never own another MB again, I'd hate to see you having a rough idle/hard start issue . If it turns out one of your sensors is toast, I may have an extra that I could send you (front sensor only).
