Welcome and good luck

Where in world are you? What year is the vehicle?
While I can only relate my tales of car support, Plutoe and Bobterry 99 can actually help you to sort thru the issues and suggest solutions.
If your vehicle is in the 93-95 year then many of the primary LHM situations are wiring harness based.
The 12 cylinder is like two sixes together in some of the engine operation controls and one side can start the controller problem.
The 600 has several systems that can start the LHM and wheel sensors are one of them, in addition to transmission, traction control and E Gas unit. depending on the model year you will count light flashes or read codes from the Star Diagnostic unit.
Have fun, don't feel alone in your current feeling of folly. You are among kindred spirits!

You now have a 2nd thread concurrent to another mentioning problems which surely have a common root cause. That cause is probably crumbling insulation on most or all of the wires in the engine compartment. You can check wheel speed sensors (how?), but it is pointless if the insulation on the wires in your engine compartment is failing.
