ABS lamp and tachometer

Hi,

Recently I was in 1 month vacation and at return my 1995 C280 battery was dead. I live in Florida and this is the first time the battery goes dead.

I started the car with jumper cables. The first time everything was OK (everything on dashboard was fine). After the second start (also with jumper cables) the ABS light stayed On and the tachometer is dead.

Do you have any idea what can be? Maybe a fuse?

Thanks

ABS light do turn on when the battery is low or not enough voltage is going in. The reason behind this is that if there's not enough power running in the car, the ABS shuts off. Hence, the light comes on telling you that your ABS is off. Try checking your battery and see if it's still good.

I recharged the battery twice and still have the problem. Maybe there is a blown fuse.

maybe the battery has no more acid and it wont hold voltage much long check level too.
