Exclamation VSA, ABS, and /!\ light on, sometimes intermittent

I've searched for threads relating to my problem but no one really comes back on with a solution. There aren't any cases that fit mine exactly either.

I first got these lights on when I routed the sensor wire wrong and the wires got torn. I soldered it back together and lights went away.
Three years later, on a 1200 mile drive, the lights came back on and stayed on.
I've noticed the lights go off when I put the car in reverse, then the abs modulator pump(??) will make that buzzing sound. After I turn the car off again, the light comes back on and hasn't gone away for over a year now.

Guess it might just be the sensor but like everyone else, I don't want to start throwing cash at it. Thanks in advance!

Fixed. Checked resistance at the harness and there was a short so I slit little Windows at various points in the wire to find it. There was a section in the black wire up between the upper a ARM mounting point and the a vertical mounting point. I took some shielded wires from work and replaced the original section up to the sensor. Put rubber sheathing over it and its as good as new.
Almost bought a modulator pump but I decided to jump the terminals on the relay and it started pumping.
