The ABS light fault is quite likely a broken PCB ground track which is common with the adjacent warning lamps. I fixed mine at one stage by soldering a small piece of copper tape across the track. Others have used a small piece of wire to “jumper” across the fault. You may find this is easier and quicker than finding a replacement cluster.

You can access the offending track by removing all the warning bulbs (take a picture first so you’ll remember where they go) and then flipping out the bottom edge of the flexible PCB.
I've already suggested repair is the best option but been ignored. The common earth track to some warning lights has diodes linking the warning lights together including the no charge warning light, this gives the self-test facility on the ABS bulb at start-up. The bulbs are then linked via individual lines to the circuits they indicated a problem on. The other side of all bulbs is common to +12V ignition switched feed.
