Wiring identification

Another question regarding my 318is. Sorry for all the questions but being new to the car I'm just finding my feet.
I removed the cluster to repair the temp and fuel gauges which are now fixed.
When removing, I felt like a wire and a bulb just kind of dropped out the rear and I didn't have a chance to see where it came from.
Its a green wire and a grey and red wire going to a bulb holder. Any ideas?

To add, it comes on with the ig ition and goes off when running. All the oil light etc seem light on the dash too. So I don't think it's one of them

likely for the ABS light at a guess

I was thinking that. There is a port at the back of the cluster that doesn't have a bulb. It's not the usual port with a bulb holder, it just looks like the bulb pushes in the hole

Shine a torch through the clocks to find the relevant location

Update.

It was the abs light. Thanks all.
So I've sorted all the issues with the cluster. New set of brake pads as well with new sensors.
Now moving on to a rough idle issue, which I'll start a new thread on.
