When it rains, it pours

With 357,000 miles, I'm not complaining, but the last month has been brutal for my 164. Changed the heater fan last month, got it back together and the ABS light is on. Still have not found the fault yet. Then, my Stebro exhaust got louder and louder, second failure in 5 years! Shifter gets intermittently stiff even after oiling and greasing the linkage. Starter solinoid is on it's way out, not looking forward to that! Yesterday the e-brake ripped the bolts out of the floor. And today I got a strong raw fuel smell! I've got alot of work to do...

I had ABS light issue too after A/C work and it turned out right front sensor wire connector near low pressure service/POA valve was the problem. I disturbed the brittle connector. Had to plug it back in and tape remains in place.

Had fuel smell yesterday and is was a weeping hose/loose clamps on fuel rail.
