Great video, very well explained and shot. I'm usually too scared to do anything to cars myself, however I now feel confident enough to check my brake wear sensors. Thank you. You have a Subscriber :)
As far as I know, the check brake pad light works a lot like the “light bulb out” indicator. The only way to get it to go away is change the sensor that has worn through. This will update the computer at next start up
My 08 c300 4matic sport only has 1 wear sensor on the front driver wheel. I checked all other wheels and there isn't a wire anywere,kinda weird. No chimes or indication on display saying there is an issue.
Your video on the brake wear sensor on the MB C300 is very well done - great quality of the video (angles, lighting, technical aspects). Are you going to do a video on replacing the rear pads and rotors on the C300? I've been looking for a good one - but they are all lacking (poor videography). It would be great to see your take. If not, can you recommend a great video for this task.
Hahaha I definitely need a check-up from the neck up kiddo! Hahaha Even so… I appreciate your generosity in sharing you great information! I have a 03 E320 😊yes it’s older but like Janis Joplin said we are like fine wine we get sweeter with age😁HOWEVER… the parasitic drains do become a bit harder to pinpoint! 😂 Anyways … thank you again for the content. I changed my own brake pads a Few weeks ago n possibly didn’t put the sensor back on properly 🤷♀️and so I am wondering if that could be causing battery to be dead on the second night each time it’s fully charged (2week old battery n I overhauled the alternator n had it checked as well n it’s good ) … i by chance you come across this comment and have any ideas that might help this gramma would sure appreciate it.🙏🥰thx God Bless
No doubt. They do try to sell their brand as “an experience like no one else”. It couldn’t be further from the truth. Although i love the car and have had an awesome experience with it. The stealership is another thing. Just utter horrible service and absolutely not quality assurance. Receiving my car back disassembled and having to put it back together is unsat and not safe!
My C300 still has the brake pad wear indicator light even when I replaced the pads and the new sensors that came with the pads. Any idea what might trip the sensor? Will removing the entire sensor trip the light (meaning not put it on)?
Removing the sensor WILL trip the light. My first guess would be that you have a wire worn through somewhere right there by the tire and everything that moves. Remember they have sensors on the front and back. Did you check both?
Bro i noticed your flag in the background if I’m not mistaken was that VMA-223?? I was @ VMA-331 simper FI. I recently just brought a 2018 C class 300 loving your videos.
Oh wow. I was long gone by then they disbanded our unit not long after desert storm.. if you remote start your c300 will it cut off if you open the door?? Or is it just mine??
The “stealership” 😂.
I’m stealing that one from you.
Great information. Thank You very much!

Awesome! I’m glad I could help!
Thanks for information, subscribed.
Ty For helping people. 😀
Hey Bud, can you make a video on how to reset my check break pad wear on my Mercedes c300 message dash board. Thank you.

What a pain. I’m not sure!
Mauricio Espinoza Apparently Mercedes put on new ones that’s what they told me
Is there sensors in all 4 calipers or just 2 sensors front and back
Just 2 on passenger side where I am working in the video!

Here is a video I found doing the rear pads and resetting. th-cam.com/video/T9LdRtxIzkk/w-d-xo.html
The Durbincompound vid is great as well.
I HAD THIS CODE COME ON AND AFTER INSTALLING NEW ONES...I STILL GET THIS CODE
Nice video but how do I know if the problem is on the rear wear or front wear
You don’t! You have to figure out which sensor is showing the open reading! More than likely it’s the back! Start there.
TheDurbinCompound appreciate it a lot really helped 👍🏼👍🏼
No problem. Sorry for the late response!

Yeah parasitic drains are ridiculous and hard to find. Since your battery is going dead fast, it must be something larger!
Mercedes benz "STEALERSHIP"..no truer words were spoken.

Thanks for the info! I'll check both this weekend again.
Ry_Raian on a Mercedes. After the sensor has been replaced, you have to have the code erased using a computer plugged into the OBD.

Awesome! Yep I was an avionics guy at 223 from 2005-2011 then out to recruiting duty....
I was aviation ordnance from 89-93 then VMGR 252 aviation electronics until 96..
Nothing but good things! Nice to meet ya Devil. Hope to see you around the channel!
I knew a Singleton in ordnance at VMA-223. Around the same time that I was there.
Oh wow. I was long gone by then they disbanded our unit not long after desert storm.. if you remote start your c300 will it cut off if you open the door?? Or is it just mine??
it starts 6:27
Truly it starts at 12.25 - ends at 13.00
Should be edited to a 30 seconds video
