WTF --> more problems
Jeez...just when the fuel gauge stops reporting the correct amount of gas (just stays at empty but does move a spec when turning the power on) now the ABS light is on.
We had a period of no problems and now one after another. And the warranty is out, so thats no fun either. What can cause ABS malfunction? I mean, when the fuel gauge wasn't working, we didn't use the car anymore and just left it in the driveway (as you see in my sig, just right there, hasn't moved in a few days now).
I go and start 'er up and there it is, bright and lit. It wasn't on when I parked it there...

Did the battery go dead while sitting there?
If it did you just need to rest the "steering angle sensor" to do this just turn the steering wheel lock to lock a couple of time.

I need your opinion on something. It's an ML prob :p
I posted about my fog light power wire being severed somehow...don't know how it happened. The sheet is half way cut and I can bend it one way and see the two ends of the wire. Can I solder it back together and put it back in the plastic tube so that it's protected?

So your saying that the wires for you foglight got cut some how?
If so yes, you should be able to just solder it back together and put some heat shrink on it and put it back in the covering.
