Hi Vito, I had exactly the same issue today and watched your clip. Grabbed my can of WD40. I couldn’t remove the cover so i just removed clip on left and was able to fold it enough to spray the lubricant in the vague direction of the switch. I am so happy to say that this solved the issue. I am very grateful for your youtube video mate! You gave me the confidence to attempt this myself. Big love for you and this clip!
This is my current problem and probably why the shifter has been sticking! Picking up a new brake light switch later thought and hope to change it myself. I randomly searched for a video on it and didn’t realize I clicked on yours until you started talking! Lol miss you Vito!
I bought a W210 E240 V6 from an old lady. The car was parked for more than 6 years. Brakes stuck, fuel pump shot, rust and condensate ( shit load of water ) in the tank, 1 coil ( twin spark ) dead, 4 tires dead, wiper pump dead, ac compressor dead (as well as condencener and dryer. ect...the list goes on and on. My first Mercedes. So absolutely no experience on that brand. I just drove home from the workshop having fittet new Good Year tires and changed the seals, boots and pads on the brakes. Spending a little fortune. Thinking I am on the way of finishing this project. Just the AC left. But have to save some money first to get that fixed.As I drove into my parkway directly from the workshop, exactly this problem that you are showing occurred. Instant panic broke out as I am a foreigner living in Malaysia. Most workshops don't want to work on Mercedes. The ones who do are mostly very pricey. Close to vomiting ( just having spend 2/3 of my families vacation money) I reached out to TH-cam for help...and there YOU are with your video. Thank you very much for saving my day and weekend. You rule buddy. 👍🏻
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 cu 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 3000pm. 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.
Hey Vito need your help again changed the brake shifter. Made a diagram to get power to the shifter now the car takes a min to go into first and second gear .. it’s hard to drive in the street but when I’m on the highway it drives ok
I spilled a good bit of soda into the shifter area. I did the override to get home and noticed the car didnt shift gears. Could I have burned something out or....? 2000 CLK430 w/80k mile that I usually keep spotless smh
hi dear thanks a lot for your video i have the same issue today for my CLK 2002 could you help what exactly i need to do with this pin i am little confused thanks again
Yes. I recommend just ordering a new brake light sensor and installing it. It'll fix your issue. Also, check out my recent videos. I have lots of interesting videos about Benzes
Hopefully u can help me out I’m having the same problem on my Lexus gs300 I have no brake lights and can’t get out of park I checked everything and changed the break switch I don’t know what to do now
Mike Garcia Test for 12 volts at the brake switch. And also test for ground on the brake switch using a test light. You are probably missing either this or that. Hopefully your new brake switch isn't defective
VITO'S GARAGE man your rite on .so the problem was I wasn’t getting a constant 12v that switches the brake lights on now the only problem I have is ether finding a wire to loop it to that has a 12v constantly with a switch or finding a brake switch wire diagram to trace the wire .thank u so much
So basically I've repaired my friends cars and mine watching your videos. You're a teacher at heart thanks from NJ
Thank you very much and I’m glad to help!

Miss you too Tia! I hope that will fix all your issues. It's not so difficult, but you need to lay on your back under the steering wheel

I’m glad I could help. Check out my other videos and playlists! Lots of old school Mercedes and BMW content and restoration, fixing and revival!
Exact same thing just happed to my 2001 e320. Hopefully you just saved me a headache and a half.
W210s are amazing cars. It’s 99% just a bad brake light switch. Keep loving and taking care of your car
You Know basically!!
Fixed my E320 thanks to you. Cheers.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Very helpful buddy and thank you so much I will look at it tomorrow I get stuck tonight god bless you
You’re welcome. Please check out my recent videos and playlists. I have a lot of car content👍

Hey, umm.. just asking tho. What kind of grease can i spray or apply to it?
Like an engime oil or something? Any ideas please.
Just replace the brake light switch. Brand new genuine is like $15
I spilled a good bit of soda into the shifter area. I did the override to get home and noticed the car didnt shift gears. Could I have burned something out or....? 2000 CLK430 w/80k mile that I usually keep spotless smh
You messed up the shifter. You need a new or used shifter
Hey do you know how to remove the storage tray underneath ash tray?
Mechanics screwed up so much. Now that I can sut up

The speed sensor broke
Will make not work
Cruise control
ABS
Esp
Traction
Brake lights
And shifter gear
Just replace wheel speed sensor
I don't understand what you just said. Can you rephrase it? What's going on?
Good Lord get to it! Good night. Folks this is what drugs do to you.
Right! I hate when people give their life story first
If there is no power to the brake switch light how do you get power ? I replaced the brake shifter on e320 Benz car still want shift .
You need to find the wiring diagram or run a new power wire to the brake switch from ignition switch.
VITO'S GARAGE thanks man God bless it worked now to fix the other problems
I have same problem with w203 c180k, gear won't shift, ABS, ESP, brake pad wear fault on dash, what could be the problem ?
Brake light switch
Mine I think it's located at tb the brake master drum, still the same ?
All brake light switches are always located by the brake pedal. Look there
@@VITOSGARAGE it's not in my own 2004 model
Hopefully u can help me out I’m having the same problem on my Lexus gs300 I have no brake lights and can’t get out of park I checked everything and changed the break switch I don’t know what to do now
