BAS ESP light

My 2000 e320 4Matic keeps flashing the ESP/BAS light on the dash. No idea why it keeps re appearing and my tires aren't spinning or losing traction. It'll stay on until I shut the car off and turn it back on

If it ain't your tires or the charging system(low voltage) then it's a faulty wheel speed sensor. That takes a good scan to determine an OBD scanner will not read the B codes.

Bas and ESP light

It is extremely likely that your stop light switch is bad. I paid $19.80 for the one on my car that solved these problems. You can install this yourself by removing the drivers underdash panel. You will see the small brake light switch at the end of the swing of the brake pedal. Don't forget to '**** it' before installing it which is pulling out the plunger one notch. Most auto parts stores carry this brake light switch.
