I would replace the wire and inspect the motor while you do and use the best one.
But your issue is not likely the motor based on your test, fact brakes work and what you mechanic said. Although it is possible the motor is intermittently working, which opening up motor you'll know.
If no other DTC (codes) found:
I could be in fuse box relay.
It could be your issues is in the black ABS units wires are attached to. The very first ABS system someone asked me to fix, seem to be very similar to what your experiencing and its wires were also bad, same year, about the same miles. He was quoted ~$5K to fix. We bought a used ABS unit from salvage yard, $100 worked great.
But these can be very hard to diagnose. May be worth your time and money to take to Dealership. Ask to have their master look at and meet with him. He too will like say replace the whole master assembly. But ask if he can narrow it down for you. They will not install just a part from a yard.
