Brake Job Done but ABS not working..
I don't think!
I replaced the front and rear rotors and brake pads on my 2002 C240 Mercedes. I replaced the brake fluid, bled the brakes, and a rusty bleed nipple snapped off. Therefore, I had to replace the driver's side front caliper.
Now, I'm fairly certain that the Anti Lock Braking System (ABS) is not functioning. I slid through an intersection yesterday on a wet road when I had to slam on the brakes. Can someone please tell me how I can turn ABS back on?
Thanks,
Dick Gleason

Find a safe piece of dry road & jump on the brakes hard or wet road & less hard. If you get the traditional stick/slip judder of ABS all is OK.
