I've checked the live feed, it's a good voltage, and shows no resistance at all so the wire can be considered non-corroded. In some ways I had hoped it would be, I could fix a corroded wire. As it is, I'm still scratching my head.

If I had my way, I'd remove the entire ABS system and do without. It's a confounded bloody nuisance, and utterly useless anyway. I like my brake pedal, and I absolutely cannot stand the "machine" telling me I can't use it. But that's another story.
You're welcome - as for the lost live feed to your ABS, don't forget that for every good live feed there must be an equally good earth feed. I know on the older models with the Bosch ABS-2E system, the earth for the modulator/ECU was a weak point, both on Volvos and other cars it's been fitted to. Just saying!
