Hello, you have encountered a problem with your Mercedes W208. It suddenly stops and the brake lights turn on without touching the pedal. Please help me.
Dang my cars brake switch went out and mine has the older pos-looking brake switch with the two big metal prongs for one of the connectors, its more expensive too 🙁. The switch for the facelift cars looks modern and fits in with the rest of the wiring down there, the older looks like someone just jammed a old part on there lol.
Hi I have a Mercedes e220cdi w210 1999 facelift model. Before 2 weeks the thunder hit my car and I can’t not open the doors with the key. When the key put in ignation have a contact but no crank and no start. Went to mechanic he changed ecu of engine , automatic transmission ecu and shifter , ignation for key and also they are pared on diagnostic. Now the engine start good but inside on the dashboard all lights are on , speedometers not working . When I start drive the transmission is stuck only in one gear and no shift gears and the car go only until 3000rpm. Also the problem is battery is empty after few days standing a car and when I press break pedal dashboard and instrument panel light blink same like when is headlight on. Any advise or help please? Sorry for my long comment.
Do you know if the W140 1999 S420 computer needs to be driven to reset/sync after the brake light switch has been replaced? I pulled the plunger in my original and the light went out almost immediately (battery unhooked because it's draining despite the brake lights not being lit). Got a new brake light switch and replaced it, but the BAS/ASR/ABS lights are still on. Any ideas?
My e55 cannot shift out of park unless you jam something in the shift release hole, but there are no warning lights for ABS or ESP and the brake lights still work normally. Could this still be the problem?
@@Flightline_same cus I had this problem before and I switched the shifter and it’s worked fine un til yesterday I was in 1 st gear mind your (automatic transmission), and it didn’t want to to go out of park
Great help just fixed my own car with your video thankyou

Great video!
My switch has different plug but the same switch itself

Maybe. If your brake lights work properly then it’s most likely not the brake light switch and a problem with your shifter.
@@SoCal210 Thanks, I'll start with the brake light switch and pray it's that and not the shifter itself!
