I would give it a check see. That might bring your ignition circuit back up.
Good Luck
If a primary fuse had opened, the ABS unit would not have been making a noise until its individual protecting fuse link had been removed.

Please be sure that I am not trying to be smart or critical, and am simply trying to prevent confusion clouding an already complex thread.
