After manymuchlots hacking around with my car, changing both front ABS sensors, both front wheelbearings, one rear wheel bearing (this from reading the relative speeds shown by the wheels on a straight run and "fixing" the one showing off with the rest) I've mostly eliminated the ABS error I was seeing.

Except when it rains.

Thing is, it's not when it "rains" - it seems to be related to the wipers running - I only get it when they're running, but I can't tell if it's the act of the wipers sweeping or some interaction with the rain sensing windscreen.

Can anybody think of any interaction between the wipers and the ABS? Does the cable run from the OSF sensor run near the wiper mechanism where it could be worn through?

This one's weird weird.
