Exclamation Broken ABS Module pin

Hi this is my first ever on a forum so I’m probably doing this wrong but,
I own a 2003 x5 3.0i and I have the dsc triangle, amber abs and red brake light. I did some research on here and found that the abs module is usually the problem so I went and checked that and low and behold I found a pin that was bent all the way to the bottom. So I tried to straighten the pin but ultimately I failed and snapped it in half. Ever since that I haven’t noticed a change with the car so I’m guessing that that pin was the one causing some of the problems I have yet to check the sensors which will be what I’m doing because I’m 98% sure the reason the brake light is red is because the brake sensor but I’m also going to test speed sensors. I saw that people were sending in their modules to get rebuilt I was wondering if that is really necessary for me since I suspect that the module itself is in good condition but I have yet to do any tests on it because I’m not sure how to test the module itself(I know how to test the sensors). I have never used a solder but I bet I could learn quickly since I have one and have some extra electronics laying around to practice. I just wanted to see if this was a good idea or even possible.

Thank you.
