The ABS relay is built into the HCU assy.

Default ABS motor relay location

The relay I ordered from the dealer is a MB399789 (the part they had me order). They don't know where it goes, but I believe because of its shape that it doesn't go in the hydraulic unit, probably goes bolted to the firewall or in the wheelwell. I took apart some hydraulic units and I saw the ABS motor and it had two black square shape relays, one for the motor and another for the solenoids. I wasnt't able to find an electrical diagram for the ABS online. I had the diagram for the ABS but I don't know where it is. This car is a mystery, nobody knows much about it. It's hard to pull the codes for the brakes and it looks like it is only for that 95 year. I am so frustrated with this car. It is a car that I wouldn't say or trade, but everything is hard to find. Thanks.

I am not an expert, but I will try to help. I found this article related to your question. Proceed with caution. I'm not sure this is correct info for your model year.

Sebring Coupe and Avenger
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Raise and support the vehicle safely.
3. Remove the left wheel.
4. Remove the left inner fender splash shield.
5. Remove the relay box mounting bolts.
6. Insert the tip of a small flat blade pry tool into the space between the HCU and the relay box cover, opening the tab at one place and removing the cover.
7. Remove the relays from the relay box.
To install:
8. Install the relays into the relay box.
9. Install the relay box cover.
10. Install and tighten the relay box mounting bolts.
11. Install the left inner fender splash shield.
12. Install the left wheel. Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern to 95 ft. lbs. (129 Nm).
13. Lower the vehicle.
14. Connect the negative battery cable.

The only other relay listed as abs is the abs warning lamp relay. On the pic below it is #14 and it indicates it is bolted near the fusebox under the hood. It has part #MB399789.

Thank you. According to the drawing the relay looks more like the one I have. I haven't checked it yet but I will remove the radio cover to access the relay and swap it.

You may have read one of my replies that I had to edit. The drawing shows that relay bolted near the fuse box under the hood. There was another drawing that indicated it was under the glove box. I think it might be incorrect.
