I don't have the brake light stuck on or off problem. I'm going to buy the part right now and put it on this weekend, hopefully.

OK gents, finally it's the labor day weekend so I got some time to work on this. Following MW_ATL's steps, I like to provide additional pictures, and something I did differently on the hood release.

1. A quick look when the panel was first popped off


2. To disconnect the OBD connector




3. This is what I did differently from MW. With the hood release opened a bit, I removed the screw, and then massage/wiggle it out of the panel.



4. I have no idea what CANBus is, but I assume this is it:



5. Now you are looking at the cover just above the brake pedal


6. Push the foam aside and then OPEN SESAME

Did you change the brake fluid? on my c240 2005 I did a brake job and replaced all the fluid with Lucas DOT4. Malfunction warning came on intermittently. I read up that the ABS needs special low viscosity fluid. So I flushed it out with MB OEM brake fluid and problem solved!

Hi,

Goo write up.
I had the same problem on my W203 C200K. I solved it by doing the following:
After removing the original part; I clean it and the contacts using electric cleaner.
Then I noticed the white plastic pink was sticking; So I pulled it forward and cleaned it so it is not stick anymore.
I assembled the part back in the car and hey presto; PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!
