Arrow dashboard brake and abs light on

I fixed the harness issue, please, the attachments.
The board was under fuse panel.
The following abs codes were scanned:

21 Valve Power Feed failure
24 System under voltage
26 Bus communication failure

Thank you so much for this simple solution. You saved me time and made me some money. I moved the battery out of the way and flipped up the fuse panel under the hood and it was exactly like your picture.

Might be a temp fix but if your connector looks like that you really need to change it. It appears to be on the fuse box (PDC/IPM) correct? Change the box. Try junkyards or EBay for a cheaper option. Coat with dielectric grease.

I took out each individual wire from the connector, cut the rotten ends off and replaced/repaired each one then soldered back to the wires after cutting off the rotten ends. I cleaned the plastic housing and it's better than new. It's a permanent fix because the solder will not rot.

I repaired two corroded ends like above, but my abs and brake lights remain lit.

does this mean that my abs module is bad?

No, it does NOT. you have to pull the code from the ABS module with a Scanner. there are no other way to test it. And throwing a $400 part in and pray it will work is not the way to go.
