You can collect your cold beer the next time you are in Mobile, Alabama.
You are welcome, my friend. I am a Pay it Forward kind of man. Share that cold beer with a good friend or stranger.

Option B = Yellow/Green wire at WABCO ABS Unit and you connect the shuttle valve switch side to the vehicle harness side of it vs the WABCO ABS Unit side.

Are you talking at the SLABS unit under the dash for a wheel sensor? Or performing Option B? Option B is and always will be the Yellow/Green wire you tap into to bypass the internal connection inside the WABCO Unit.

Yes, there is only one Yellow-Green wire, but when it is cut it has two ends at the point of the cut. One end goes to the connector on the ABS modulator, and the other end disappears into the wiring harness going back to the SLABS. For Option B, you splice into the end that's the wiring harness side going back to the SLABS. The other end, going to the ABS modulator, is left hanging free. Maybe this pic will help.

You MUST read codes, Option B fixes the large weak link in the chain, but you could have a bad wheel sensor connection, or a bad wheel sensor itself and the 3 Amigo's will pop up. Usually when it's the Shuttle Valve Switches or the internal connection inside the WABCO Unit is bad the 3 Amigo's will come on and then go off with a key cycle. If they stay on it's usually a bad connection at a wheel sensor, bad sensor, or a bad hub which then causes a hard fault. That's why reading the codes, and after doing any ABS work it's important to clear codes. Hard faults in the SLABS unit will not magically disappear if you disconnect the battery, they must be reset using a scantool which is able to read LR ABS Faults.
