Will.. Do bendix cars not have this green relay above. I need to look Into a miss behaving lamp on a bendix M reg S2 car
The relay is inside a black plastic module screwed onto the Abs valve block.
If the fault is intermittent its possible the relay is sticking, if permanent then it's likely so be cracked solder joints, or one leg broken off the diode.
There are a number of wires, but one of the connectors has the pins all linked together to handle the current.
If you don't have a replacement module, you will need to cut the unit open and glue it back together after repair.
If you do have a replacement unit, I would like the faulty one to repair.
Thanks will. I have about 5 or 6 bendix abs blocks..
I'll get lexia on and see what it reports back.

I have a Wet boot..... so I went looking for the reason.....As directed by Rob Draper I "may" have found it.
Ripped seal, badly applied silicon, top nut missing......I re-foamed it, cleaned it.....thicker foam used so the tail lights are on tighter now.

The missing upper nut would almost certainly allow water in.
