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.

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.

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.
